At SYG we believe in giving you the best possible price for all of your computer needs. No matter what style, size, speed or brand, our goal is to make your purchase as easy and as inexpensive as we can. Before you buy from a box store, check out Seek Your Geek specials. Many times the prices are lower and the products are newer. Why buy a computer that has sat on a shelf for 2-4 months and has potential to be obsolete in another six months.

On Site- SYG has flexible scheduling so we fit into your schedule, not the other way around. We will do our best to accommodate any time request. That includes nights and weekends. If scheduled in advanced, then there is no extra charge for those "After Hour" jobs. You are only charged for the time we are there. After the first hour, billing is every 15 minutes.

Remote- In today's fast paced world, who has the time to unhook their computer. Put it in the car. Drive across town, Wait in line. Drop it off. Come back a few weeks later. Put it in the car. Drive home. Carry it inside. Set it up. Turn it on and hope it will work. With Seek Your Geek you sit in the comfort of your home. As long as you have *internet we can help you. Please click "Install Remote" to the left. After you install, please use the contact form to schedule a time and date. Please be sure to include your computer name (In the first step) and the access code you typed in. If this install does not ask for an access code, then we will need your user name and password.

Secure?- Yes we use LogMeIn for our remote control.

LogMeIn hosts maintain a persistent connection with a LogMeIn server. This connection is secured using SSL/TLS. The LogMeIn server's identity is verified using its PKI certificate. The host's identity is verified based on a pre-assigned identifier and a pre-shared secret. These credentials are transmitted by the host to the server over the authenticated SSL/TLS connection.

When a user logs on to LogMeIn.com, the user's browser verifies the identity of the server behind the scenes, using the server's certificate, just like the hosts do. The user in turn authenticates to LogMeIn.com with an email address and password combination, where the password is verified using a hash value (with a per-account unique salt). In addition to the email address/password combination, users can elect to require additional verification steps, such as entering one-time-use codes from a pre-printed sheet or an email message.

Users also need to authenticate to every LogMeIn host they access remotely. This is done using standard operating system credentials that are never stored on LogMeIn's servers. Users can elect to require the use of a personal password or an RSA SecurID two-factor authenticator when logging in to the host, in addition to supplying operating system credentials.
