PARTS RUSH FEE (for parts locally stocked in Los Angeles such as hard drive, power supply, etc)
If the part you need is not in stock and you're in a hurry, this will cut your repair time down by about 1 UPS or FedEx working day if the specific part is available locally for pickup (at Fry's, Best Buy, etc). However certain other parts are only available by mail order and there is unfortunately no way to expedite the repair. Most non-standard parts such as motherboards, CPU, RAM and odd form factor power supplies must be ordered by mail.

Running out of hard drive space? Do you have an empty drive bay space inside your computer? Bring in your own drive or PCR will order a drive that is compatible with your computer, then physically install, configure, partition and format the new drive ready for use. PCR will also advise if your computer's power supply has sufficient wattage to power the additional drive (with most computers usually there is indeed already sufficient power for a second drive).

Notes:

Half life of a hard drive = 5 - 7 years

Half life of optical media (ex- CDR) = 30 years.
