News
We are moving, and changing names.
Wichita PC Solutions has had a great year at 9323 E. Harry… We have really grown over the past year, and now require more space.
So we are moving March 1st into our nice new retail location at 1353 S. Webb Rd. just behind the Dillon’s on Webb.
In doing so, we have decided to change our brand image to better suit who we are and what we do…
That’s why we have decided to change our name to 1 Stop Geek Shop, and our new company website will be www.1stopgeekshop.com.
We do more than just repair PC’s, we buy and sell new and used computers, we sell flat panel TV’s and gaming consoles, as well as trade new and used video games.
We are a Geek Shop, and believe our new name will positively reflect who we are, and what we do.
Thank You, Jason and Thao Gregg

$299 Website Design Special Almost Over!
We have had a great response to our $299 website design special. But like all good things, it must come to an end.
We will continue to honor the ad through July 4th 2009. But after that, the basic website design goes back up to its regular price of $499. Which is still a great deal for what you are getting. Here in Wichita, we have seen several website design firms sell their basic design in excess of $700! and their designs are outdated and generic, with no graphics or personal feel.
Even at $499, our basic design still beats our competition on price and design…
Call us now to schedule your design before we close the book on this amazing deal!
We have 4 slots left from now through July 4th, to take advantage of this incredible rate.
Prices fall on computer systems
Wichita PC Solutions has unveiled a fully equipped desktop computer priced at $299, breaking a psychological barrier by creating a PC price in line with that of television sets, stereos and other basic consumer electronics.
Included with the $299 machine is a 15 inch flat screen monitor, an internet keyboard, and a laser scroll mouse. The computer is equipped with Windows Vista Basic and security software.
The low-cost PC, called the Alpha, runs on an AMD Sempron 3200+ processor.
The $299 Alpha includes an 80 gigabyte hard drive, 1024Mb RAM, a CD burner, DVD player, onboard LAN, sound and video components. It carries a warranty and is upgradeable.
Wichita PC Solutions has a history of custom building computer systems that retail for 20% to 60% less than comparable brands at the big box stores.
Wichita PC Solutions is located at 9323 E. harry Street, Wichita, KS. 67207. Their Phone number is 316-425-0059. Or visit their website at http://www.wichitapcsolutions.com.

How important are Windows Updates?
We all know how important software updates are, the importance magnifies even more when the operating system needs updates. Some of the updates might even be critical and eventually end up saving the day or ruining it if you don’t keep your system updated.
Here are 5 ways you can use to update your Windows operating system.
However you will ask “why not do it the usual way I’ve been doing it in the past?”
The answer is that these alternative ways are specially useful for:
-
(1) Users that format their hard disks or reinstall Windows frequently.
(2) System builders or network administrators seeking to quickly install all updates to multiple Windows PC’s.
(3) Security conscious users who do not wish to expose their computer to the internet.
(4) Users with a slow connection to the internet who want to avoid slow download times by using a faster connection on another computer to download Project Dakota, and burn it to a CD, DVD or flash drive.
(5) Users with a small internet usage cap who don’t want to use it all on updates.
(6) Users who want a faster way to update Windows without having to connect to the internet to download updates.
So here they are:
1. Autopatcher:
AutoPatcher provides a large collection of updates, common applications and registry tweaks, that can be easily and quickly applied to your computer system with minimum user interaction. What you do is simply download a file, run it and choose the updates, application, tweaks you want to install/apply. Then off you go and have a stroll – that’s pretty much the amount of interaction you have to put in. Nifty! Its available for Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista and Office.
2. Project Dakota:
Project Dakota is a similar project that allows you to get Windows Updates once and then apply and reapply them any number of times with a minimum of interaction.
Available for Windows XP only, it lets you download an ISO file, burn and use it anyway you like. New versions of the Project Dakota ISO are released each month.
Keep in mind your copy of Windows would have to pass the WGA check for the Project Dakota Download to be available. (There are of course workarounds to this, just in case!)
3. Offline Update:
Using the c’t offline updater you can update files offline just like the above two methods. The process however is slightly different. In this case you first download an approx 1MB file and then choose the various options and click Start. This will download files according to the attributes you checked.
c’t Project supports a large number of languages and Service Packs. It’s pretty much the only option if you want to venture into updates for non-English versions.
It supports Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, windows Server 2003, 64-bit editions of XP and Server 2003, Windows Vista, Office 2000, Office XP, Office 2003 and Office 2007.
4. Windows Update Downloader
Windows Update Downloader (or WUD) allows you to download all of the current Windows Updates using a simple interface. To download the updates you would have to add what are called Update Lists. Update lists are available from the site and you can choose the update list for the Operating System/ Software you want to update.
Using those update lists you can then download the updates for the particular OS / Software. It also has a built-in option to use proxy and authentication.
5. The Good Old Way!
Well I’m not so sure about the ‘good’ but yes it’s the traditional and trusted (by many) way of updating Windows. So what if it involves a number of restarts, so what if you have to do it all over again after a re-install, so what if you have to do it separately for all computers? So what if you get errors? Hey it works fine sometimes!
You decide and tell us which one suits you and which ones you use? Or do you prefer not updating Windows for some reason? (I know many who don’t!)

High Tech Tornado Chase to Begin
“Next month, with the help of a variety of high-tech gear, researchers will begin a wide-ranging project to better understand the origin, structure and evolution of tornadoes. The National Science Foundation has given $9.1 million to the project called Vortex2 (of course it has a convoluted backronym), which will take place from May 10-June 13. Researchers say Vortex2 is the largest attempt in history to study tornadoes, and will involve more than 50 scientists, 40 research vehicles, and 10 mobile radars, and will cover 900 square miles in southern South Dakota, western Iowa, eastern Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, the Texas panhandle, and western Oklahoma.”
