  • help you build a computer
  • Networking (TCP/IP, NETBEUI)
  • Upgrade RAM (memory) to make computer faster - I usually recommend to max it out on 32-bit machines, and on 64-bit machines, to install at least 8GB (my personal choice is to max it out if you are a multitasker and run lots of apps at once or use Photoshop or other Adobe products).
  • provide driver discs
  • Order System Restore Discs for your Major Vendor computer for peace of mind (about $50/set)
  • Upgrade Windows (think about your peripherals too, they will probably also need to be upgraded)

How much I charge

I charge $40/hr for computer repair. Senior Discounts of 50% ($20/hr)!

To give you an idea, average cost runs around 1 evening's worth of work ($40 × 4 hours = $160)

I don't change $90/hr, I like to keep my services affordable.
