What to Expect
1. Unpacking - We unpack all components carefully, check contents against lists, identify all cables and connections, and verify power requirements.
2. Connection - We position the PC tower appropriately, connect monitors using correct cables, attach all peripherals, organize cables neatly, and connect to power.
3. Testing - We power everything on to verify correct operation, ensure monitors display properly, check peripherals respond, and tidy up completely.
🔧 DIY Tips
Cable types matter - Use HDMI or DisplayPort for monitors (not VGA on modern PCs). DisplayPort supports higher refresh rates on gaming monitors.
Power surge protection - Use a surge-protected extension lead for computer equipment. This protects expensive components from power spikes.
Ventilation space - Leave space around the PC tower (especially at vents) for airflow. Poor ventilation causes overheating and reduces performance.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
We set up the physical computer hardware and connections. We don't install software, configure Windows, transfer data from old computers, or set up email accounts - these are separate IT services. If you need software help after we set up the hardware, we can recommend local IT support services.
