Do you realy want a "Clone" ?
The short and only answer from our perspective is YES! Unless you like the constant head aches that come from dealing with so called "Brand Name" PC's.

Boxed computer deals from the super stores such as CostCo and Future Shop ofer a lot of stuff for your dollar but want are you realy getting ?

The simple answer to that question is; "Whatever they happen to want to sell cheap that week". Which is useually mass produced junk with as many cheap bells and whistles the can fit in the box just to make you think you got a deal

They want to make as much money from these package deals as they can and before anyone realizes what they have bought they switch brands and stop supporting the euipment they just sold.

The bottom line with computers isn't the cost it's "You get what you pay for".

Clones are not bad. They are just misunderstood. A clone computer is what you make of it. Please see our "Sales" section for brands and componants we recamend. A clone is a computer that starts out it's life as an empty box and needs you to help it become something more.

Our goal is to provied quick and accurate diagnosis of your computer problems and repair the damage with as little down time for you as possible.

Bring your PC in for a repair or an Upgrade or have us build a new PC that is custom fit to suit your needs.

Come see how honesty and integrity can change the retail computer industry.

 















   



   
 

Building the "perfect" machine:
Well maybe not "perfect" but building a clone with all top quality parts will always be better than any obsolite off the shelf / out of the box PC you can find. "Excluding Laptops / Notebooks", portable computers which are for the most part built as a complete unit that is mostly non-upgradable except for the Ram and Harddrive.

Building a custom system yourself can be fun and educational.

Below is a chart of equipment and brands you may want to cinsider when building a clone system.
