      This is my "keep busy" side business, it is something I like to do, and I'm good at it, but Control System Engineering and programming are what I love to do, and I'm good at it. We Service, repair, rebuild, and custom build Desktop/Tower PC's. We also perform software installation, software removal, virus scans and removal and upgrade of all Desktop PC systems. If we say we cant do it, we will show, and explain why. Normally it is because a more economical way is available and we will show where that option exists, at no charge. At that point we will help you decide your next course of action if you decide to move forward. Show less
