Purchasing a computer
Q. Should I purchase a brand name computer or a custom built computer?
A. There are several reasons to purchase a custom built computer:
A computer built uniquely for you. Brand name computers only offer a limited selection of options or upgrades.
No extra software installed. Most brand name computers have a lot of unnecessary software installed.
Q. Why do custom built computers cost more than a brand name computer?
A. Brand name computers are paid to install extra software. While this offsets the cost of a computer, this software is often a limited version or trialware.
Q. Would you only recommend a custom built computer?
A. Our policy is to do what is best for the customer. If a brand name computer meets your needs, we will recommend it.
Q. Should I buy an extended warranty?
A. Research often says no. I usually will recommend an extended warranty to college students who live in a dorm.

A. Our standard warranty is 1 year. We do offer 2 and 3 year warranties.
