How do I know that I need a new system?
Most users will purchase a new system when their current system is too old to upgrade or they don't want to spend more money on their current computer. The best reason to purchase a new system is because your current system is inadequate for your needs because it won't run the software you need it to run.
What type of computer do I need?
This depends on what you will be using the computer for most. Some users will purchase a computer strictly to play games on, others will edit videos, and some will just want to surf the web. Depending on your needs, PC Services can build a new system for you at a reasonable cost.
Do you match your competitors prices?

Is a wireless network safe?
Yes, but the network and the computers that are on the network have to be configured correctly for it to be safe. On the wireless station, WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocol) can be used to encrypt the signal that is being sent and received. On the network computers, passwords and permissions should be setup.

Yes. We can troubleshoot most home and small business networks even if we did not originally install it.
