  1. Why We Should Reformat our Computer?

    September 5, 2011 by Kayce

    One of our client pc from our i-cafe was infected with virus and my hubby finds it hard to open and recover the programs and files saved in it so the best and easiest way to remove the virus is to reformat the system.

    My hubby is the one who do the reformat and set up those programs and software. We do believe that through reformat it helps eradicate all problems and it brings the computer back to its healthy state.

    Because the reformat or restore process erases everything on your computer, you need to backup any of your important files on your computer. You will also need your original software install disks to reinstall any software you have purchased. This is because once you format your computer, you might have a hard time saving those files which you might have missed out on backing up even with data recovery.

  2. Computer Cloning?

    August 30, 2011 by Kayce

    A friend of mine asked me if we are using a computer cloning software for our i-cafe pc units. I told him we don’t use it. I even wonder what is that software all about since my hubby just use to install software and program manually on each pc’s. He told us that computer cloning or ghosting is a process that involves setting up the operating system, drivers, software, and patches on a single computer, then automatically replicating this same setup on other computers using specialized software.

    I think cloning is helpful for i-cafe operators like us because no matter what software we use, cloning allows to efficiently set up multiple computers, and can be done at any organization where we want to ensure that every workstation is configured the same way and with the same software.

  3. Client PC’s for Our I-Cafe

    We originally set up our net cafe for chat users before way back 7 years ago and that includes microsoft office for encoding and printing purposes. And then we also started buying gaming PC’s for the gamers as shown in the photo. So what spec do you need for a gaming PC these days? Ours are Dual Core with 2gb of ram, 250gb hard drive, 512mb GFX card. We have also found that gaming wise things like Call of duty, DOTA, counter-strike, RF Online and RAN Online are all their favourites. We bought this complete set of Gaming PC at around P17,000.

    You can try to budget P20,000 to P25,000 per PC.  Do not scrimp out on memory, processing power or video cards. The logic here is that  even if you save a few bucks but your computers will be trash in less than a year and  you should have a faster PC than your competitors. And if you can get LCD monitors for all computers, then do so. The cost savings on electricity will more than pay for itself.

    And if you’re a techie, you can probably do the wiring and the setup of the routers and switches yourself. That’s what my hubby is doing here. But if you can’t, there are professionals who can do it for you. If you can’t find one in your place, ask the tech guy at the PC shop where you bought your hardware if he can do a little moonlighting for your new shop.
