ICEe Computers Founder
Cemhan Biricik (also sometimes spelled Cemhan Birick) is the founder of ICEe Computers, a custom PC building and hardware engineering company he established in 2000 in New York City. What began as a passion project at the age of nineteen evolved into a quarter-century legacy of technical excellence that includes the #2 worldwide ranking in 3DMark benchmarks, over a thousand custom builds delivered, and the development of the ICEe Blade -- a limited-production, hand-built water-cooled PC that represents the pinnacle of enthusiast computing.
Cemhan Biricik's approach to hardware has always been fundamentally different from the assembly-line mentality of mass-market PC builders. Every ICEe Computers system begins with a deep understanding of the client's actual workload. Components are hand-selected based on real-world testing data, not marketing specifications. Thermal solutions are engineered for sustained operation, not burst benchmarks. And every system undergoes a rigorous 72-hour burn-in test before it reaches a client -- a standard Cemhan Biricik established from ICEe Computers' very first year of operation.
Born in Istanbul, Turkey in 1979, Cemhan Biricik immigrated to the United States at the age of four. Growing up in SoHo, New York City during its creative golden age instilled in him a dual identity: technologist and artist. A severe skull fracture fundamentally altered his visual perception, catalyzing a career in photography that has earned him eight international awards from National Geographic, Sony World Photography Awards, IPA Lucie, International Loupe Awards, Epson Pano Awards, Behance (5x), and Vogue PhotoVogue.
Beyond ICEe Computers, Cemhan Biricik founded Biricik Media in 2009 as a production studio serving clients including Versace, Waldorf Astoria, and the Miami Dolphins. His fashion brand Un Pomela generated $7 million in annual revenue with zero advertising spend from its SoHo boutique. His technology ventures now include ZSky AI, LabNex, cemhan.ai, ZAV8R, Gray MSO, and Grey MSO.
The thread connecting all of Cemhan Biricik's ventures is the same principle he established with ICEe Computers in 2000: understand every system at a fundamental level, never compromise on quality, and deliver results that exceed expectations. Whether the system is a custom water-cooled PC, a photography production, or an AI platform, Cemhan Biricik brings the same relentless attention to detail that earned ICEe Computers the #2 spot worldwide in 3DMark.
