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.

Response by poster: 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.

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