Computer Care Tips
- Keep your tower computer off the floor to avoid dust buildup and protect your heatsinks.
- A broken laptop screen is still worth fixing — it's far cheaper than buying a new laptop.
- Keep your laptop plugged in when possible; the battery degrades the same way as your phone.
- Suspect a virus? Search it on Google first. If a link redirects unexpectedly or pop-ups appear, bring it in.
- A dual-core processor with 8GB RAM will still perform well for writing, research, and data entry.
Laptop Screen & Hinge Repair
A cracked or dead laptop screen is not a reason to buy a new machine. We replace screens on all major laptop brands — Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, and Apple MacBooks. We also fix broken hinges, keyboards, charging ports, and more. Most repairs are completed within 1–3 business days.
Pro Tips
- A broken laptop screen is still worth fixing — it's far cheaper than buying a new laptop.
- Keep your laptop plugged in when possible — the battery degrades similarly to your phone.
- Avoid picking up a laptop by its screen — it stresses the hinges and can cause cracking over time.
Virus Removal & System Optimization
Is your computer running slow, showing pop-ups, or redirecting your browser? You may have a virus, malware, or adware slowing things down. Our technicians perform thorough removal, clean up startup programs, optimize Windows settings, and make sure your machine is protected going forward.
Pro Tips
- Suspect a virus? Search the pop-up text on Google first. Unexpected redirects or persistent pop-ups are red flags.
- Never call a number that appears in a browser pop-up — it's almost always a scam.
- Keep Windows and your antivirus updated — most infections exploit outdated software.
Ready to Work Smarter or Game Harder?
If you want a computer that truly fits your needs and aesthetic, you need a custom system. It will cost a little more, but you’ll get more bang for your buck in the long run thanks to higher-quality parts and performance built around you.
ARMOR's Custom Computer Lab
We use computers for just about everything today — from work to entertainment and everything in between. So when people need a new computer, why do they just go buy a name-brand computer that is cheap and easy to get? Here are 8 fundamental reasons to have a custom system built to make your life easier.
1. Custom Systems Do Not Come With Bloatware
When you buy a pre-built system, you succumb to bloatware 99% of the time. From the software Dell overlays over your copy of Windows, to HP’s custom drivers, there’s a ton of additional software associated with a pre-built system. You don’t need any extra deals, or anyone doing data mining on your computer, and these softwares do just that. They use up the resources you want to play your favorite game or interfere when you’re trying to get some work done, so your best bet is to get a custom system.
2. Custom Towers Allow For Better Upgrades
A pre-built Dell offers little room for upgrades or expansions. The moment it no longer meets your needs, you have to buy a whole new one. Custom PC cases have expansion bays, water cooling options, extra drives, air filters, and space for every future need — and they look cooler too.
3. More Power
Custom systems are built with the components you actually need for your use case — whether that’s a powerful GPU for gaming, a fast SSD for productivity, or a beefy CPU for video editing. No compromises, no bottlenecks.
4. Standardized Parts That Will Not Have You Replacing The Computer
Custom systems use standardized parts that can be individually replaced. If the power supply fails, you swap in a standard ATX unit — not a proprietary Dell supply. If RAM goes bad, any compatible stick works. This flexibility makes custom systems far easier and cheaper to maintain.
5. Performance
We had a client looking for a $300–$400 refurb with an i5 for stock trading software. Instead, we recommended a $1,200 custom build with an i7 and SSD that would run his software optimally. When we pointed out that a single slow trade could cost $2,000, he understood — custom systems are cost-effective, built to your exact needs.
6. Special Needs
Custom cases exist with air filters for industrial environments or homes with pets. Microcomputers built as small as possible. Systems built for 4 to 8 monitor stations for dispatch, financial markets, or video walls. All of our developer stations have 4 monitors to maximize productivity.
7. Reliability
Custom systems use better-quality parts with lower failure rates. Most hardware bugs stem from name-brand systems rushed out with cheap components. The highest volume of repair jobs we see are HP computers. We see very few custom-built computers fail — and when they do, it’s usually Windows.
8. Plus, You Can Do Really Creative Things With Custom Builds
Mount them on your wall. Build an all-in-one workstation. Create a dual-system streaming rig. The possibilities are limitless when you’re not constrained by a manufacturer’s cookie-cutter design. Work smarter, game harder — a custom system can match your performance needs and fit your unique aesthetic.
