Which one are you thinking of?
There's a service around here called Geeks on Call where they come to your home or office at $100 per hour, labor only.
We have Nerds on Wheels. They have a red VW Bug with their logo on it.
I'll tell you a secret about fixing computers: it's CAKEPIE!! I mean, say I were to replace Verte's CD-ROM. You slide off the side panel of the CPU. The CD-ROM only has two wires connecting it to the motherboard and they're both a different size so you can't mess up there. Plus, with computers these days, there's really only one place where your hardware fits. It's all so self-explanatory. The thing that gets people is they fear the computer and fear damaging the computer. The way I see it, the computer is not God. Humans invented the computer and even if I do mess up and break something else, EVERYTHING is entirely fixable. You just have to get over that fear of taking it apart and going inside......it's not even that cool. The inside is usually dusty with random screws that fell out rolling around. I LOVE fixing computers. It's so much easier than raising four kids for someone else!
BTW, when I fix computers off-campus (for me, not for work) I usually get $10/hr which I think is fair b/c most of the stuff I "fix" is seriously a waste of my time and time is a precious commodity when you're a working colletge student.
Those repairs are high, and then you have to be without your computer for days or even weeks. If you can do it (I'm broke but I'm getting enough tax return to cover it) Wal-Mart has an emachine with a 17 inch monitor, CD ROM and CD burner, 2.60 GHz processor, 40GB hard drive and 6 USB ports for $469 dollars. 
You will probably pay at least half that alone to get the CD ROM fixed, more if they need new parts. It's an idea.
It couldn't be the overuse and hanging around here by any chance could it? 
Wow that is a good deal!
