Sold the last laptop in stock, I have more on their way here, shipping is so slow this time of year. I have a stock pile of desktops. The prices are increasing so it is harder to find them at a decent amount for resale. Give me a call if you need a machine, first come first served. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year!

**Electronics are about to increase in price. I felt I had to warn people. I have been building and repairing computers since 1997. I am buying as many machines as I can. If you need electronics of any kind, now would be better than later.
Parts are jumping in price by expodential proportions. DDR5 Ram is tripling in cost and SSD/m.2 hard drives, which are also built on a ram platform are nearly doubling.
They have stopped producing DDR4 ram so the supply is dwindling and the price is also increasing. All parts and peices are being projected to follow suit. Of course this will also effect the used and refurbished machine market.

Call me if you want a Working Computer. I don't do specials as I sell my machines as cheaply as I can year around. Top quality machines to do the job quickly for years to come. Completely set up and ready to go, your data moved from your old machine. No bloatware, no spyware, no viruses.

**It is getting tougher finding machines that I can refurbish that I can resell at an affordable price. I won't lower my standards. If the machines are not top quality I won't sell them. I am trying to get an inventory for when these prices go even higher. Most parts and machines come from Asian countries. I have some in stock and some on the way.
Let me know if you need a laptop or desktop, asap, this is getting out of hand. Just when windows 10 is being made obsolete too.

**Our sun finally showed up. What that means for electronics is possible overheating. If the room your machine is in gets around 85 degrees Fahrenheit cool the room or shut down the machine unless you have a quality water-cooled system.
If you are out in the sun, make sure any devices are not left in direct sunlight as heat will shorten the life of any electronic device and can cause damage to the device.
Also, this is a good time to make sure to check for dust accumulation as dust can block the air flow and also create a ground which can short out components. If you are using a compressor dial it down to 100psi, we are after dust, not parts.
Canned air does not work well, as it does not have enough pressure and tends to blow the dust down into the crevasses where it can short out components. If you do not have a shop vac that can be made into a blower, or an air compressor I offer free blow outs, call for an appointment.

I build custom machines with top quality parts to the specifications to meet my customers needs. Most of my work are refurbish top quality laptops and desktops. I try to avoid reselling used gaming machines as overclocking and extended use at max settings wear on a machine quickly making the used machines lives compromised for longevity and usability.
High end production machines are also built with top quality parts, the weak link being the used hard drives which I replace with brand new 5 year warranty drives. These computers I refurbish I also run through a battery of testing are in excellent running condition and they far exceed anything on the retail end for durability.
I set them up completely shutting off Microsoft's intrusive built in spyware, Windows 11 Pro along with internet protection, and productivity software to keep them working smoothly and efficiently.
The price of the machines includes transferring your data and replacing it from your old computer.
Prices on parts are going up and it is getting harder to find these computers and replacement parts for them at the prices I am use to getting. If you are in need of a machine sooner will be better than later it seems.
All of my computers come with a full year warranty on the machine, and 5 years warranty on the hard drives.
Give me a call and see if what I have will work for you.

**October 14 2025 will mark the end of support for Windows 10. I have upgraded older machines to Windows 11. It depends on the bios in the machine whether or not it can be upgraded or not. Gen 6 Intel, and many of the older AMD processors, I have done a few older than that as the higher end computers were built with more capable components. If you have an older machine running 10 and want to get ahead of the masses that wait until the last minute to upgrade, there will be a line at that point, call me and I will do what I can to put 11 on your machine.
When I install windows I do all windows and driver updates, and set them up with internet protection, optimize and shut off all the Microsoft spyware, add productivity software, move your data to the new machine including browser short cuts and in most cases passwords other than banking, that needs to be set up with your bank.
I charge 120.00 for labor, 25.00 for licensing, plus any parts upgrades needed.
No charge if I can't upgrade your machine.

**If your machine has slowed down or become glitchy over time. Need data retrieved from an old system, or a complete system upgrade. Give me a call, there is no charge for diagnostics, also no charge if the job is not successful.
Every machine that I reinstall comes with, 1 year system warranty on parts and labor, top quality parts if needed, spyware and virus protection, windows and driver updates, data from old install backed up and replaced after being scanned for malware.
Give me a call, I will do everything possible to get your machine working for you at the lowest price possible.

Thank-You for the consideration.
