Computer Repair

Some common scenarios that may indicate your PC or Mac is in need of repair or an upgrade include:

• Programs no longer start as quickly as they used to. It takes much longer than expected to browse to websites, and the system seems to ‘hang’ for a minute or more at a time.
• Your Internet connection seems slower than usual, even if you’re not downloading files or sending large email messages.
• Odd alert messages or popup dialogs appear, indicating that a program abnormally ended or encountered an error - when you may not have been running a program at all.
• You suspect your computer has a virus, spyware or a Trojan horse installed.

Custom Computer Assembly

If you’re in the market for a stable computer with local on-site support, consider a custom-built system. EdgeLink Consulting only recommends parts that we have personal experience with, from reputable manufacturers such as Asus, Intel, and eVGA. Unlike systems from a large manufacturer, you get personalized support and a unique knowledge of the computer’s internals. You’re also protected out of the box, with the latest operating system and program updates installed.

Business Website Design and Administration

If your small business or organization requires a website, you may want to consider a custom-developed platform. Customizations can range from plugins or themes for an existing website package, all the way to an in-house, unique content management system. One of the main advantages of a content management system is that you or your employees can change the website at any time, without requiring the services of a Web designer. Further enhancements, such as code security audits and removal of non-essential features, ensure that your content stays the way you want it.

In short: Using either a standard publishing platform or a custom-designed solution from EdgeLink Consulting, simple tasks like changing a picture or replacing text don’t require a service call.

Technology Consulting

As a group of avid technology enthusiasts, EdgeLink Consulting is in an ideal position to provide advice and recommendations on new purchases or how to get the best out of your existing devices. Here are some topics our consultants are knowledgeable about and would be happy to discuss with you:

• Home theatre systems, including:
  • 5.1/6.1/7.1 channel surround systems
  • Amplifiers
  • Cabling and connections
    

    Did you know? Many cabling solutions sold at retail outlets are extremely overpriced - some with as much as 300% to 400% markup over wholesale cost. For example, an extremely costly digital audio cable typically won’t improve home theatre performance, since the information is carried as a stream of 1’s and 0’s and not an analog waveform. Don’t get ripped off by purchasing monstrously expensive wiring; talk to us first.

  • Direct view projection, plasma, LCD, LCD projection, and DLP technologies

  • Digital cable, high definition digital cable, and PVR set-top boxes
  • Next-generation game consoles, such as the Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, and the PlayStation 3
