My laptop with all of my music and photos has died a death (backed up on external HDD phew!!), anyway got a repair guy out of the local paper to have a look and it is the motherboard power regulator and needs a new motherboard.
Long story short, decided it would be more cost efficient to buy a new desktop as the laptop never moved anyway.
Now the same guy that had a look at the PC also builds them and gave me a cracking quote to build a new one.........however the company has only been in existance since the beginning of this year......he is offering an 18 months parts and labour guarentee
or
A slightly lower spec (one down in the chipset and 1gb less ram) and I can get a similar machine from John Lewis with a three year guarentee on.
Now would you go with the company built on an excellent reputation or would you support the local businessman trying to prosper in a difficult time??
