Started in 1991 as Southern Tier Computer, our company has been providing computer solutions and quality customer service to individuals and businesses within the area. In 1994, the company opened its first retail store at 359a Park Avenue in South Corning, New York. Expanding rapidly within the community by providing local businesses with computer and networking solutions, the company currently tailors to the needs of over 100 organizations and businesses throughout the Southern Tier Region. Adding to the growth of the company, in May 1998, Southern Tier Computer opened a second retail store on Upper Front Street in Binghamton, New York. Less than a year later, the company joined forces with Gateway and was qualified and approved to sell Gateway Products as a Gateway Authorized Reseller, giving Southern Tier Computer a significant presence in the area. In 2004, Southern Tier Computer changed ownership as well as our name to Southern Tier PC, and are still treating clients as we would like to be treated ourselves, giving them honest advice, great products and services, the best value and genuinely caring about their happiness. |

After all, newspapers and magazines are full of adverts shouting about high specs and low prices, while a quick look around your local computer superstore will provide any number of computers, ranging in price from a few hundred to a couple of thousand dollars. But if you are budget-conscious, you can avoid parting with more money than you have to by scouting around the refurbished computer market. At Southern Tier PC we also offer you the option of obtaining refurbished computers by America?s top manufacturers. Cost is the primary reason people purchase refurbished systems, and we are a leading provider of used and refurbished PCs that will save you money. These computers are often priced below the average computer system currently sold. If a refurbished computer sounds like a recipe for problems, think again. In some cases, the computers being offered can be just a couple of months old and come supplied direct from the original manufacturer, with a full warranty and technical support package. |

Purchasing a home or business computer can be a big and sometimes costly decision. When purchasing a computer it is likely that you will have a general idea of what you may like in the computer or how you would like to configure the computer. Below is a listing of the various components likely to be found in a computer and recommendations and tips when considering purchasing a new or used unit. |
|
Case/Chassis - Purchasing a computer case is generally not an important consideration for users who are purchasing a computer from a computer manufacturer as most manufacturers do not offer different types or colors of cases. However, before purchasing a computer case you should think out where the computer is going to be placed. Is it going to be on your desk or your floor? Is it going to have enough space at its location with the monitor and other peripherals possibly next to it? And also, look at the availability of upgrading any aspects of that case in the future.

Hard Drive - Hard drives have and always will be an important consideration to think about when purchasing a new computer or used computer. The hard drive will be the destination of all your files and information, and if that drive is to become full, that drive will need to be replaced or another drive will need to be added to the computer. When looking at the space of the hard drive, always get the maximum size hard drive, considering you will eventually always run out of space. When purchasing a hard disk drive, it is important to verify the hard disk drive is suitable for your uses.
|
CPU/Processor - The type of the processor can be a very important consideration for users who are building a computer. The type of the processor is not as important as the compatibility with the motherboard. Today, there are two main processor manufacturers: AMD and Intel. Each of these companies have good and bad reviews, and really each of them are very close in compatibility and reliability. When considering any of the above company's product, ensure that a motherboard that is compatible with that product is also purchased. For example, if an Intel motherboard is purchased or currently installed into the computer, you will want to consider an Intel Processor.
Memory - Determine the amount of memory included in the computer as well as verify if that memory can be upgraded in the future. Computer memory is one of the most commonly purchased and performed computer upgrades. The more memory in the computer, the more efficient the computer will run. Before purchasing computer memory, it is important that you ensure that there are available slots on the motherboard for the memory to be added into. If there are no available slots, memory must be removed before the new memory can be added into the computer. Sound & Video Cards - While this may surprise some, video and sound cards can make or break a computer when it comes to playing games. However, the majority of all computer users will find that most standard sound cards will suite their needs. Most games today require additional video memory as well as special video modes. With a video card with little video memory or without these modes, the computer may be unable to play these games efficiently. Some users purchase more advanced sounds cards which will increase the amount of speakers that can be used to enhance the sound quality and capabilities of their computer. Modems & Home Networking - The modem is becoming not as important as it has been in the past with the upcoming spread of broad band. When looking to purchase a computer, a modem should not be an important consideration unless broad band is not available in your area. With the increase of more than one computer in the house and with broadband Internet solutions, a network card is becoming an important consideration when purchasing a computer. Network cards allow users to connect to other computers and have small networks in their home or office. |

When looking at purchasing different types of computers, you will likely hear different stories, some good and some bad. Regardless if the story is good or bad, these stories are always based off of the experience of that user. While it may be true that the user had a bad or terrible experience with that computer, all computer manufacturers have had users who have had a bad experience and there is no such thing as a bad or perfect computer manufacturer.
So the most important aspect in buying a computer from any company is service. Service is an important consideration to look at when looking to purchase a computer, new or used. The service is how many companies describe the repair of a computer if it or a component within it is to become broken. What type of service is offered? Is the service onsite, meaning a technician will come to your location to replace or fix a bad component. If onsite is not offered, what is and for how long? |

Unfortunately, like anything, it is possible to be tricked or for computer companies to scam you. When purchasing a computer, ensure it comes with legal software. Many end-users or small computer companies who build or sell computers may not provide you with legal copies of the software which is illegal. Verify that the software that came with your computer is on a standard CD and not a burnt CD. Ensure that the product you are purchasing is what you are paying for. It has been known that computer companies may list a processor being a specific speed, however, actually have a totally different speed of processor in the computer.
