Want more power? Need a computer only for email and surfing the web? We can upgrade or build you a computer to fit your needs.

Polar Computers personally consults you one-on-one to identify your computer needs and decide which hardware and software can help you achieve your goals.

We want to make sure your computer can fulfill your requirements, that’s why we work intimately with you to understand what functions you seek. We won’t ever try to sell you on a piece of software or hardware that you don’t ask for.

Here’s some of the things we can do for people who want to upgrade their computer or those that want a custom-built computer that delivers high-value for the cost:

Computer Hardware Upgrades

If you’re like many of our customers, you likely wouldn’t mind adding a little more speed or memory to your computer. Who wouldn’t?

And the best thing about upgrading your data storage, CPU or RAM is that technological advances have dramatically slashed the costs of upgraded hardware. I’m always on the lookout for the best products that deliver optimal speeds and functionality at the highest-value prices.

Computer Software Upgrades

Most modern software companies, such as Adobe, Microsoft and others roll out updates to their software on a constant basis. Keeping up with it all can be a job in itself, and many of us can miss out on very important upgrades.

Some upgrades cost money, but others are free.

We keep tabs on the latest software updates and can keep your computer running the latest and most-compatible applications.

We’re also aware that sometimes software updates can make your applications incompatible with your operating system or other programs. You might be one of the hundreds of thousands who recently met this rude reality when Microsoft upgrade its operating system to Microsoft Vista.

We proudly support both Windows XP and Microsoft Vista and provide application support for both operating systems. We can even switch you to the operating system of your choice if you’d like to revert or advance your OS.

Whatever your desire, we will ensure your applications and operating system play nicely together to help you get the most out of your computer.

Custom-Built Computers

Many Big Box stores, such as Best Buy and Computer City, specialize in selling computers that come loaded with all the fixin’s and software.

And it sure has made buying a computer easier, hasn’t it?

But many computer users I’ve worked with have also found that computers bought at large retailers sometimes come loaded with unwanted software, which can hog your processor and memory.

By working together, we can design a system that performs exactly the way you want it to. We can hand-pick advanced hardware that cost even less than the pre-packaged computers you can buy from larger retailers. This way, you know exactly what’s been put into your machine and you’ll know what to expect out of it.

Here are a few options for computers we can build:

WEB AND EMAIL COMPUTERS
Want something to send email to family and friends? Need to produce a family newsletter and post it to a blog? Maybe all you’re looking for is the ability to access forums and websites for news, directions or recipes.

We can design a sturdy Internet-ready computer for as little as $300 and you’ll save yourself from being bombarded with unwanted software that can eat up your system resources.

MULTIMEDIA COMPUTERS
For the at-home filmmaker or aspiring photographer, a multimedia computer is a dream come true. What’s more is these computers substantially more powerful and easy to use than computers produced only a few years ago.

With RAM, processing speed and physical memory getting cheaper all the time, building a custom multimedia machine doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg.

If you’re interested in graphic design, video editing, CAD (Computer Aided Design) or other types of multimedia, ask me about how we can make the right machine for you.

GAMING COMPUTERS
Gaming computers are considered by some to be the cream of the crop in high-speed computing. They require custom parts and tweaking for optimal video display and game-speed.

While it’s possible to buy a gaming computer from many retailers, working with a trained computer builder may help you customize your desired machine to give you an edge over your online competition.

Gaming computers can range from $800 to $3,500, depending on which bells and whistles you’d like to install. If you’d like to optimize or build a new computer for a specific game, just let me know the game and I’ll help you decide which parts will make your system sing.
