After experiencing a devastating computer invasion, Milwaukee PC came to my aid with magnificent delivery! Randy, my contact at the 27th Street store made me feel at ease and helped me through the process with high technical knowledge and kindness. I am ever so grateful to have used them to help me recover, in more ways than one! Thank you Milwaukee PC and Randy! May your holidays be joyful!

Randy did a great job with a refirb desktop pc gave me nice bells and whistles with free generac microsoft office. Hooked up my windows media player to play cds and movies and recycled my old computer at no cost. Milwaukee PC needs an A with better business bureau and I will return again someday. Best Buy has no clue!

I used Milwaukee PC this past week when a server at my company went down. We were trying to recover the hard drive, and quick. The team at this location was friendly, quick, and helpful. Unfortunately, they couldn't recover our hard drive - but later the same day they had an odd part that we needed to get a new server hooked up. Happy to have them in our neighborhood!

Just replaced my desktop PC with a newer faster model provided by Milwaukee PC. I took advantage of their service to move my data and set up the computer in my home. I was very satisfied with the service and the machine. It made the transition painless.
