I had Happy Hamster build me a computer almost two years ago. I had taken in a very old machine for repair (purchased in '98) and it was very slow. Of course, it needed more than just performance tweaking. Zac assessed my situation and said he felt bad charging what I'd have to pay when this machine was on its last legs. He suggested just building me a machine that would be 20 times faster and he'd be there for local on-going questions and support. He was a new business at the time but I took a chance, and had him build it.
I've been so happy with it, and time flew by with no problems. When I found my computer had contracted a virus, I again called on Zac. He took my machine in immediately, and gave me an unbeatable deal, because I was a return customer. The most important part to me is that he made me feel confident that it would be fixed, simply because he recognizes the value of satisfying returning customers. He also gave me an estimated pickup day, then called me a day early to say it was ready. No one likes to be without their computer for very long and I really couldn't thank him enough for making me a priority.
Two years ago when I first found him, it was only Zac and his then girlfriend. Now he's got several other Hamsters working for him and they have a terrific storefront on MLK. From my experience, I'm not surprised Happy Hamster has found success! Thanks Zac!!
Happy Hamster Computer Repair is a great alternative to those large computer repair shops that don't provide any personalized service nor helpful computer advice.
I consider myself above average in my computer knowledge.
After building a computer I was having problems it, I took parts to a large computer store and was told incorrectly that it was a power supply problem, after spending $100 I found it was NOT a power supply problem. After making a second trip I was told it was not the motherboard and everything was fine, took it home and it was not.
Then I decided to call on Happy Hamster to get some professional help.
Zac at Happy Hamster was able to quickly take my system apart while I waited, test the parts and determine that it was in fact a broken motherboard. I was also told in detail what caused the problem so I can keep it from happening again. Since I was present I was able to gain some valuable information about computer building and Zac was more than happy to share any details that may be of help to me in the future.
And he was able to do this all in about 30 minutes.
I highly recommend Happy Hamster Computer Repair to anyone in need of some computer help. Fast, cheap helpful and local = )
