I figured someone ought to post from Geeksquad.com some prices.

I've chosen the in-home services to price. It made sense to me because most times a friend asks you for help, you end up at thier house.

Wireless Network Setup $159
--install and encrypt your wireless network to preserve your Internet freedom and help keep the bad guys out. You’ll be able to share printers, files and your high-speed Internet connection between two PCs at home.

Add a Device to an Existing Network
--We’ll install a network card in the PC and set you up so that your file and print sharing is connected to your shared network resources. $129

Broadband Service
--get you started with a new broadband account — or get you back up if your connection’s down because of a faulty modem, router or cabling. $159

Dial-up Service
$129

Now, because we all need humor in our lives, here's what they charge for service in their Geek Squak "Precincts" in Best Buy stores:

Antivirus Install $29

Operating System Install $59

Antispyware $29

Software Install $29

Memory Install $29

Optical Drive Install $39 (yes, THIRTY NINE DOLLARS...roofles)

HD Install Desktop $39 Laptop $59

PCI Card install $39

And $19 to hit the box with a can of air.
