One of the services that
Optimized Computing offers is Hardware Installation /
Hardware Repair and Evaluation. We regularly replace Hard
Drives for our clients as they do fail over time. We also
replace them with upgraded drives that are faster and larger
than what originally came with the computer. With the amount
of data stored in both the home and office, this is an
affordable solution to replacing the computer. Other areas
where we perform Hardware Repair / Replacement are:
- Hard Drives
for either failed drives or to increase
capacity
- Video Cards
for improving performance or adding multiple
monitors
- Network
adapters to increase the capability of your
computer
- Memory -- an
affordable way to make the most out of your
existing computer.
- USB Cards to
add additional USB ports
- Power
Supplies -- a common point of failure in
computers

We are able to provide a wide
variety variety of hardware to meet your requirements. Being
a truly independent company, we can select the best hardware
options for you based on your needs not based on what
hardware lines we represent.
We will also give you our honest
opinion of whether the computer is worth fixing or not. With
the aggressive pricing on new computers, it reaches a point
where upgrades or repairs don't make good economic sense. As
an example, let's say you have a 5 year old computer and the
hard drive is beginning to fail. Our recommendation would be
to get the data completely backed up and then replace the
computer. The drive would cost approximately $80. Add an
hour for installation and data transfer (if all goes well).
You have invested about $200 (once you include sales tax)
into a 5 year old computer that has no warranty. That's
nearly half the price of a new computer that will be at
least 4 times faster, will have more memory, already
comes with a larger hard drive, has the latest operating
system and has a full year warranty. We'll tell you that up
front. |
