  • Apple and PC Repairs for Bathurst, Oberon, Orange, Dubbo and Beyond, Without the Penrith Trip

    If you live in Bathurst, Oberon, Orange, Dubbo or anywhere in the Central West, the closure at Victoria Pass has made a simple tech repair trip a whole lot more frustrating. Right now, the Great Western Highway is closed at Victoria Pass, and traffic is being diverted through Lithgow via Main Street, Chifley Road and…

  • Where to Bring Your Computer for Repair Now That Victoria Pass Is Closed

    If you live on the western side of the mountains, the closure of Victoria Pass has made a frustrating problem even worse. When your phone, iPad, MacBook, PC, or gaming computer stops working, the last thing you want is a long and inconvenient drive all the way to Penrith just to get help. That is…

  • New MAc trouble discovered at the Monkey Bar helpdesk

    As you know I have been working on Mac Computers for a very long time. I am really good at what I do. I have also seen a lot of Mac problems. (And yes that has not deterred me from using them…. in fact I love them even more). Lately I have discovered a new…

  • Linux on Gaming Computers: A Smarter, Cheaper Alternative to Windows 11

    For a long time, the phrase “Linux gaming PC” sounded like something only hardcore tinkerers would attempt. These days, that is no longer true.

  • Closure: Well… Here We Go Again

    If you’ve been following our journey for a while, you’ll know that bad luck and Lithgeek seem to know each other a little too well. We’ve had three floods.Three. Two were man-made, one was from rain, and all of them were a giant pain in the backside. On top of that we’ve had network issues,…

  • Honest to a fault ..and angry at the other guys

    I won’t name the company doing this because (1) I genuinely hope they change, and (2) I suspect they won’t—and if called out publicly they’d likely target us to dodge accountability. The thing is: I’m not a very good “business person” in the usual sense. Money isn’t my measure of worth. It’s not even a…

  • Computer Repairs You Can Trust in Lithgow: Fast Fixes, Clear Pricing, and Real Expertise

    When your computer suddenly won’t boot, your laptop starts running painfully slow, or your Mac decides today is the day it won’t connect to Wi-Fi, you don’t just need “a repair shop.” You need someone who can actually diagnose the problem, explain it in plain English, and fix it without upselling you nonsense. That’s what…

  • Play Warhammer On thursday Night!

    Thursday nights at LithGeek (85 Main Street Lithgow) are all about one thing: bringing people together for Warhammer 40k and Warhammer 40,000 in a relaxed, friendly space where it’s totally normal to spend an evening arguing (politely) about dice rolls, admiring someone’s freshly painted minis, and learning why little plastic soldiers can be the best…

  • Ditching Windows: How Linux Can Make Your Next Gaming PC Cheaper (and Honestly More Fun)

    Ditching Windows: How Linux Can Make Your Next Gaming PC Cheaper (and Honestly More Fun)

    If you’ve been pricing up a new gaming PC lately, you’ve probably had the same reaction as everyone else in Lithgow, Bathurst, Orange, Dubbo and Katoomba: “Why is RAM suddenly made of unobtainium… and why do GPUs cost the same as a small second-hand car?” When parts are expensive, every dollar matters. And one of…
