Ascended Electronics – By Appointment in Iowa City | Best Phone, Laptop, and Computer Repair Services at Affordable Prices | Quick Fixes

I haven’t bought a computer in over 10 years, so I was pretty far behind on what to look for in a new setup. I was looking for a gaming rig that wouldn’t need to be upgraded anytime soon, and was a little overwhelmed. After shopping around between Best Buy, Wal Mart, Alienware etc. I had concluded that building a computer would be my best option to keep price down. This is where I ran across Ascended Electronics. Not only do they have a number of builds to choose from, but are more than happy to sit down and talk about what exactly you need in your new PC and build something from scratch. Dallas, the owner, certainly knows his stuff! I got exactly what I needed: A PC that blows away anything that big stores have collecting dust on their shelves, and a pretty killer monitor/keyboard/mouse combo. This guy stands behind anything that he sells, so if something goes wrong (which it won’t, because he does it right the first time) he’s local and available to answer questions or take a look if need be. If something goes wrong with a regular store-bought PC from the aforementioned places, you can expect to box it up and ship it off for a couple weeks. No thanks. If you’re on the fence about Ascended Electronics, don’t be. Pull the trigger, you won’t be disappointed.

After investing in 5.1 speakers and a 4K TV, I wanted a clean, professional looking setup for my home theater. Some key requirements:

– Mount the TV with full articulation
– Cable management: no visible wires running up walls
– Run the rear speaker wire into the unfinished basement and back up to the wall where the rear speakers would be placed

Ascended Electronics took the time to do a consultation and put together a plan that would meet these requirements. The final results are exactly what I wanted.

Additionally, I live in a 2 story house and the new TV was far away from my router so WiFi speeds for that location were poor. Running cable was an option but would be difficult. Instead, Ascended Electronics assisted with setting up a wireless mesh network. The TV and consoles now are getting much better speeds, as is the rest of the house. Much like the home theater installation I got what I wanted. I cannot recommend Ascended Electronics enough.

I met with Dallas recently to inquire about purchasing a new PC for business and personal use. We discussed options in great length and he took time to answer all of my questions to fully understand what my needs were. We came up with a custom build that far exceeded my expectations in both performance and price. I can tell he takes pride in his service and is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to computers. I can’t recommend Ascended Electronics enough. They provided exceptional service at an extremely fair price.
