I don't see a problem with your pricing. I normally charge around $50 p/hr.

I recently was talking to a man who charged $200 in labor to reformat XP, as any techy knows it may take 2 or 3 hours to fully set up a PC from reformat to reinstall but 200%?
This is very much excessive. Double that and buy a new computer. While the install is taking place you can keep yourself occupied with other repairs. A reinstall does not require 100% attendence.
A reinstall should be cheaper than diagnosing and repairing an ill fated computer. I have done virus removals that cost an upwards of $200.00 because of the nature of the computers environment.
