I had been driving by this shop for 5 years, and was always intrigued by it, thinking I'd stop in and consider the options for a back up PC. I live in a rural area, miles away from anyone I would trust for this matter, so having a back up makes sense - same thing with angle grinders on a job site, by the way. If you need one, it probably means nothing else will suffice, so you are likely SOL if it fails; given that they are $25, there's no excuse for not having one. Anyway, bottom line, I finally got around to stopping in because my current laptop runs on Windows 7 and that is incompatible with Turbotax. I sure as heck wasn't going to pay a tax preparer to do my 5 minute return, So I needed a Windows 10 or later OS. I explained the situation to Rob, the owner, and he took the time to explain why my apprehension about updating my old laptop from Windows 7 was justified. I left 15 minutes later with a reconditioned small tower (sort of like a low boy water heater, about half the size of the old 286s, 386s, and Pentiums I started with decades ago). It was $169, out the door, and is more than fast enough and capable for my needs. It's also really quiet. The cats seem to like the subtle hum it emanates.

I recommend this shop to anyone wanting to be able to articulate their computing needs and get them met promptly and $ efficiently. For what it's worth, it's also nice to see electronic equipment being recycled/reutilized. This place is like a good auto mechanic's shop. Nice to know it exists and an ace in your back pocket.
