FastGeek Computers & Networking Services

Here are some of the services we offer -

System & Network Repairs

Some times a component inside your computer simply gives up the ghost. While having to deal with hardware failures is never a happy time we're here to make sure that everything goes as smoothly as possible and to have you back up and running as QUICKLY as possible. From something as simple as your floppy drive failing to needing to locate and install a new main-board, we're here to make your problems as short lived as humanly possible! The same applies to your network, regardless of being a home based or business based system. From the most basic failed network cable to a fried router, we'll take care of you.

"Tune Ups"

While some folks might find the idea of "Tuning Up" your computer pretty amusing it's actually quite applicable in today’s world.  In fact, if you've noticed that your computer just seems to be running slower and slower as of late, then a tune up is exactly what you need.

Even the most careful of web-surfer can pickup spyware, malware, adware, trojans and viruses. While it's not always the case, homes with teenagers are often at higher risk for such infections; especially if you have a high-speed internet connection!  Sites such as MySpace and FaceBook are in and of themselves harmless; but sites / programs they visit that are suggested by their online friends might not be.  (This is mentioned as many parents are concerned that sites like MySpace / FaceBook are teeming with viruses and spyware, which isn’t the case.)

We have the knowledge to make your computer run smoothly again. We can also help you chose anti-virus and anti-spyware utilities that won't break the bank and aren't so bloated that they bring your system to a crawl! In fact, we'll come right out and say it here; you'd be well advised to steer clear of products from the "Big Three" - Symantec (Norton), McAfee and Trend-Micro. These power houses used to make some of the best software in the business, but unfortunately that's no longer the case (this has been well documented). Their products are expensive, ineffective and so "bloated" that they'll bring a modest computer to its knees. The products we use are either LEGALLY free or very reasonably priced; and we'll be happy to show you how to use them!

Network Design & Installation

Wired, wireless or a mix thereof, we can make it happen!

We can install networking solutions in your home or office to enable you to -

Share a single high-speed internet connection between all the computers, game consoles & Pocket PC’s / PDA's in your home / office.
Share a printer, or printers, between any number of computers.
Setup access to shared files for everyone to easily access.
Setup NAS (Network Attached Storage) Devices to allow for shared file access WITHOUT leaving a computer on 24 / 7!
All wireless services will be SECURE with easy to follow instructions to allow friends and family to connect as desired.

New Systems & Installations

Regardless if you'd like us to design & assemble a custom computer for your specific needs, or if you'd like us to help you purchase the "Best Bang For Your Buck" system from a large retailer, we're here to help you! Why are we willing to help you in purchasing a computer that we didn't assemble for you? Simple, because we want to make sure our clients are getting the computer they NEED based upon their budget and desired used; not what some high pressure sales person is trying to force feed you. Nor do we want to see our clients suffer from the issues a "bargain basement" computer will inevitably bring them. We're also more than happy to setup your new pre-built computer at your home or office, transfer data from your old computer and get everything running smoothly.

At FastGeek Computers we do custom built computers quite differently than the way you're used to.  If you'd like to pursue this route we'll be happy to explain the entire process to you in detail. All computers that we design, assemble, test and setup will have a 1yr warranty on all labor related to hardware failures.  And in the unlikely event you DO have a failure you'll have a skilled and dependable LOCAL expert that you know and trust to help you, not some person you can barely understand who is reading out of a script book in a far away land!

We can also assist business owners with custom built or purchasing pre-assembled Servers, Workstations and Backup Solutions.

Hardware & Software Upgrades

If you're looking to get the most out of your current computer for entertainment or business purposes, or maybe you're just looking to extend the life of your current machine until you're ready to splurge on a new one, we can help you make it happen! From video card upgrades, to installing a new Dual Layer DVD burner, adding or replacing hard drives, additional memory (RAM) or a new processor (CPU) we're here to help you.

Or perhaps you need to upgrade your operating system to a newer version, most likely Windows XP or Vista for most of you; or perhaps to a newer version of Windows Server for a business owner.  Before proceeding we'll evaluate your current hardware to verify that it's suitably up to the task of your new OS. In some cases we'll have some suggested upgrades (RAM or HDD for example) and in some rare cases we may have to explain that it would be more cost effective to replace the entire machine vs. the planned upgrade. Once again, we hope this will help you see our commitment to you and making sure that you get the best computer system for your hard earned money!

Educational Training

When it comes to training we ask that you have a specific goal or goals in mind. Much as we'd love to, we simply can't help you to "learn everything I need to know" when it comes to computers! We also suggest that you not be put off by the "For Dummies" books, which can be found at your local book stores. These books are well written and can be real life savers. However if you desire some one-on-one training then we're ready to help you meet your goals! From using email like a pro, buying & selling on eBay, basic graphics editing and just getting more comfortable with Word, Excel and other MS Office Suite products we're here to help you! Once again, please have a couple specific goals and set aside at least a couple hours for each lesson.
