Cyber Security

Back in the good old days you would use dial up into your ISP and the Internet was friendly place – chat houses, ICQ’s, MSN, and reading up on news with the odd bit of  emails and funny jokes No one was trying to steal your data, break into your network and gain control of your identity. Oh, how times have changed. These days we have Internet on tap, also connected like oxygen and we’re know pretty quick if we don’t have it. Most of our lives are connected to the Internet in some way, and it’s only getting more integrated – just look at AI and its progress. Insane! To protect ourselves we need multiple layers of protection – a good antivirus & firewall on the PC at the very least. Followed by protection at the network level and then your accounts online with strong passwords and Multi Factor Authentication. We’ll be soon be launching some basic courses soon to help the mums and dads protect themselves from the threats we face today.

Custom built machines

In our lives we spend enough time waiting at the lights, for the kids to get ready for school and in line at the post office. The last thing you should be waiting for is something that is supposed to make you more productive. We hand build all our desktop computers to very strict specifications based on your needs whilst exclusively using high quality parts. We take pride in assembling the machine taking time to hand pick all the components for each individual build. Much like an exotic sports car, you can’t mass produce high performance systems with cookie cutter methods. The results at the end of the day will speak for themselves with a PC that has insane speed, efficiency, and hardware you will make full use of. All our new hand build desktop computers are fully warranted for 12 months in case of any defects related to the original build (excludes individual parts, as this is covered by the part manufacturers warranty).

• No bloatware, only the apps you need
• Enough memory and storage for your needs
• Fully supported all the way.

When you buy a new computer off the shelf, you’ll find it has a bunch of programs already preinstalled. This is called bloatware, stuff you don’t want / didn’t ask for. Major computer brands have deals with software companies to pre-install trial versions of their software in the hopes that you’ll buy it because it’s already there. Since we are only human, and since its easier to click on the buy now rather than researching what is actually the best most people just do exactly that.

All our custom desktop systems come squeaky clean of bloatware, we simply install only the essential freeware programs needed to keep your system lean and fit when it arrives. Things like a video player, PDF reader, firefox/chrome, and ESET Antivirus (optional extra) if you’ve asked for it or it comes in a bundle with a special. We diligently hand pick the parts to perfectly suit your budget and what you need the PC for right down to monitor size and picking your case that suits your style.
