    • I want one! How does the Silicon Travel PC System work?

    The PC is installed, maintained and serviced by Silicon Travel. It is leased by the homeowner from Silicon Travel through the Property Management Company. The only requirement for the homeowner is to supply a suitable location within the home equipped with a desk and the proper outlets.

    Exclusivity

    Silicon Travel’s “Prime Directive” is to maxmize your home's booked rental weeks by offering this terrific new amenity for your guests. When a Silicon Travel PC is placed in your home, the Property Management Company's website makes your home exclusive by adding it to the search category "Internet PC" on their website search page. Guests who want on-line access during their vacation will easily find and book your property!

    Help and Support

    To minimize downtime for your guests and to make their computer and on-line experience at your home pleasurable, Silicon Travel includes an Information Manual with every PC with detailed instructions for operating the system. Our 1-800 Help desk number is boldly posted on the monitor for quick reference. Our 1-800 Help Desk operates from 9:00 AM –7:00 PM seven days a week 365 days a year. If the Help Desk must dispatch one of our local on-site technicians, we respond either the same day or within 24 hours. No repairs are done in an occupied home. We simply exchange the problem computer with a new one.
