Abacus Computer Services sole proprietor :)

[Half-Saint]

Yes, after being unemployed for just over 6 months I got fed up and decided to try my luck.

On december 5th I started my own local business. It's gonna be a computer repair shop and I'll be offering:
- repair services (laptop and desktop)
- various installation services (STB, wifi, wired LAN, etc.)
- consulting
- custom built PCs
- PC mods
- virus removal
- basic data recovery
- original old PC games
- used PC hardware
etc.

I'm hoping to bring some fresh wind to town as my two competitors seem to have gone stale.

Still haven't officially opened shop but here are a few pictures for you to look at

The desk in the last picture measures 250x80. Hope it's big enough as I'm gonna use it for all the repairs.

I somehow miss the word "keyboard" in your description

Wishing you all the best!

Good Luck with your shop!

How does your shop look like from the outsize?

Also, why didn't you call it

Half-Saint's Computer and Keyboard Services!

Good luck! Never make money working for someone else... so you're doing the right thing.

Are you going to have a little museum section? I've seen pictures of goodwill shops in America that have a mini museum - not for sale obviously.

Best of luck with your shop.
Add a keyboard refurbishing service maybe you'll have luck and find some sweet stuff

[Ascaii]

Yes! My plan is to exhibit a different computer each month and allow the customers to actually use it. I have about 15 different machines in my collection, ranging from ZX Spectrum 48k to the Amiga 500+. Also own a number of vintage consoles

I have a glass cabinet with a mini museum at home but I'll move it to the shop

Snow wise that reminds me of the view out my window.

[guilleguillaume]

I hope your buisness is going well after 3 months

[Half-Saint]

It's nothing to write home about but I'm afloat

Anyone need some soldering done?

[hoggy]

I've got an ergodox that needs that special touch if you're interested.

How does the inside of the shop look now?
