Value Computers

You have to walk up to the first floor of the Heritage Princess building to find our office. We are at number 132, right across the way from Almedia School. It is a decent spot to work from, though carrying heavy desktop towers up those stairs can be a bit of a workout during the summer months. Value Computers is not a massive showroom with bright lights. It is more of a practical workspace where we fix laptops and set up systems for people who live nearby. There are usually cables running across the floor and various parts sitting on the workbenches. We try to keep it tidy, but when three or four repairs come in at the same time, the place gets messy fast. The school across the street means it gets really loud in the afternoons when the bell rings and kids are everywhere. We have seen a lot of different technology come through these doors over the years. Old bulky monitors used to take up all our shelf space, but now it is mostly slim laptops with broken screens or keyboards. We started this because we liked taking things apart to see how they actually worked. Now we do it for a job. It is not always easy, especially when a specific part is hard to find, but we manage to get things running. We drink a lot of tea while waiting for software to install on the machines. That is basically our daily routine.
