I Want to Start a Small PC Optimization Business

Hey guys, I was looking for some advice and any ideas on a business I wanted to start.
I was wanting to make a small PC Optimization business while I attended college. What I would do is I would go to your home or small business and fix up your computers so they perform better. I've been laying out all the services I would offer and wanted to know your opinions on anything else I could do, prices, the legality of everything, liability, etc etc.
Obviously, I wouldn't be ripping or copying any CDs or Movies that this person did not own. I was also wondering about any kind of liabilities I would have if, for some reason, something bad happens and the person loses a file. So, your input is greatly appreciated. I'd like to get some business cards, put some signage on my car, and create a website for everything. Thanks.

You're in Marietta, I'm in Kennesaw, if you're successful hit me up and I'll help out.
Computer Cleaning
- Thorough Cleaning of the Inside of Your Computer
- Monitor Cleaning: HD, LCD, and CRT
If something later goes wrong with said PC, regardless of cause, you would probably be first on the list of 'oh noes, that PC guy borked it when he took it to bits' claims.
If you are a guy who understands computers and you touched it, its always your fault. Even if it happens when you aren't there any more.
Hard Drive Defragmentation - Reorganizing files so that your computer can perform faster.
Not a great definition, but that's your job
Make sure you have a liability waiver, make sure it's legal, and make sure every customer signs it. No matter what you do, if something wrong happens at any time ever after you've touched their computer, they will blame you.
Truer words etc.
Also, be sure that said waiver/service request is perfectly clear with a statement similar to "Computers will not be returned until account is paid in full." I am not a credit bureau and I do not loan money. I gave you a written estimate of "this is how much it will cost to do X, Y, and Z" - if you do not come up with that money, you will not get your computer back.
A coworker actually had a woman try to offer *clears throat pointedly* other services in exchange for his services, after he'd already fixed her computer.
He said he'd just spent enough time cleaning viruses off her computer, he didn't want one for himself as a memento.
