PC repairs
Failed hard disk drive?
PC or laptop not starting up?
Need more USB ports on your PC?
Need extra disk space or memory on your PC?
Running really slowly?

Many of these problems occur because your computer may have hardware issues which need addressing.  Cast Iron can diagnose and resolve most hardware related problems.  A failing hard drive is the most critical and should be attended to as soon as possible.  Call Cast Iron, who will be able to diagnose the problem and implement the solution.
 
Spyware & virus removal
These are the 3 causes of much frustration computer users are now experiencing. Spyware, malware & adware severely interfere with internet connections, your personal files, and general performance of your PC.

Spyware, as the name suggests, is where software is planted (during an internet connection) onto your PC, and spies on your operation of the PC. Information, such as email addresses and unprotected files are easily transferred from your PC or PCs back to the hacker responsible. You must be adequately protected if you do not want to be victim to spyware.

Malware and Adware is similar, where malware causes misbehaviour and havoc with you PC and various applications and programs you usually run on your PC. Adware is largely responsible for advertising, nuisance popups, and redirection of web pages to unfavourable or inappropriate web sites.

You may already be so badly affected that rebuilding your PC is the only answer. Contact Cast Iron if you are victim to these terrible 3 culprits or strange behaviour on your computers and we will provide you with the necessary services and solutions to rid you of further frustration and problems.
 
Internet installations - Broadband (Cable, ADSL & Wireless) & Dial-up
There are many benefits in going broadband (cable or ADSL) for your internet connection.  Cast Iron can provide the whole service, installation, comprehensive advice, will outline for you which internet providers can supply you with broadband internet, and which options are best and most cost effective for your needs.  Ask about our CIC Start™ plan.

We will also install all hardware and software necessary to get you started. Cast Iron will even submit the application with a suitable broadband internet provider for you. Everything you need to make the move from dial-up to fast internet without you really lifting a finger!
 
Software & hardware installations
Cast Iron carries out most common software and hardware installations. Often PCs need to be rebuilt or reconfigured as a result of a failure. Internet security installations, routers, network cabling, preparing new PCs before you use them for the first time, are among the most popular software and hardware installations Cast Iron performs.  We can even purchase new PCs, laptops or notebooks, printers and other equipment on your behalf where preparation & installation usually follows.  Call now for more information and assistance.
 
Computer upgrades
Upgrades refer to both operating system (eg. Windows 98, ME or 2000 to Windows XP) and hardware upgrades. You may wish to boost your computer's memory capacity (RAM) or hard disk drive space, or even improve graphics for movie & music editing.  Let us know what your current computer state is, and we can provide suggestions and cost estimates to improve your computer's performance.
 
Networking PCs - wired or wireless
If you have many PCs in your office or home that are not talking to one another, do not share resources, such as printers, internet connection and folders or directories, simple networking of your PCs, with or without wires, can change all this.

Cast Iron can provide comprehensive advice, install cables, purchase hardware & software necessary and devise a small and simple plan outlining how it will all work for you. The end result is you will likely make better use of your equipment as well as save time & money.
 
Internet security - PC & network
Are you having trouble with a slow PC?
Is your PC performance not what it used to be?
Do you experience other strange behaviour on your PC?

It is imperative that PCs have appropriate protection and security against internet thieves & hackers.  Anti-virus software is now no longer enough. The new nuisance is spyware, adware & malware. You otherwise run the risk of disclosing valuable information to strangers on the internet!

If you have a number of PCs across a network, and you use wireless technology, a passer-by may even be using your internet!

Cast Iron Computing can provide all advice, software, hardware and measures necessary to protect you, and will explain how it all works so you can take control yourself.

Backup solutions
Do you perform regular backups?  If your hard disk drive fails, or your computer equipment is affected from an electrical storm, you may lose important business or personal information forever.  There a so many reasons to back up, and no excuses not to.

A simple method of backing up your data is your low cost means of insurance.  Cast Iron provides solutions that best suit your back up needs, and it doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg.
 
Web site construction
Need a website?  Already have one but would like improvement?  If you would like a solution from start to finish, and have a simple yet effective web site developed and put onto the world wide web for a very competitive price, give Cast Iron a call or email us on info@castiron.com.au.  We will provide plentiful advice, and explain what costs are involved and how much you can benefit from becoming web present.  We will outline the facts of websites, and dispel many web optimisation myths you may have heard from other organisations (for which you can be unnecessarily charged).

Cast Iron also provides a simple and cost effective web maintenance plan. Once your web site is live, it is necessary to maintain and update the website periodically.  Cast Iron offers a low-cost plan where you simply pay for the time (by the minute) for changes made.  You will be hard pressed to find a better, more cost effective deal out there.  Contact Cast Iron for more details.
