Computer repair in Chicago

October 3, 2005 7:04 AM

It's almost impossible to google this, but do any Chicago folks know some good computer repair shops?

I've have a pc that as kept killing harddrives, and stupidly, I thought I was just having bad luck with HD's. It's beyond my hardware troubleshooting skills and I don't really have time to deal with this.

I need a place that would also help me with some data recovery, I have backups, but I really don't want to start over again with my last backups.

Far northside prefered, if possible. Thank you.

Google local, brilliant, I forgot it existed. This place is close, but doesn't seem to have a website, I'll have to use the dreaded phone.

Yeah, I'm trying to avoid places located in bigbox retailers. They seemed expenseive too.

Also, if anyone has recommendations of places they've personally been to, that would be great.

Found a place on clark right near my apartment. Strange though, because they dont' have much of a storefront.
