Joe's Basement -Computer Sales & Service


Welcome to Joe's Basement!

This is my personal blog of my home-based Computer Sales & Service business. My shop is on the far NW side of Chicago near O'hare Airport. I service all makes and models of PC's, workstations, servers and related peripherals running under Microsoft Windows. I also repair and rebuild used computers for resale.

Name:
Location: Chicago, Illinois, United States

I have been in the Computer & Information Technology industry since my college days back in 1993. I have worked profesionally since 1999 with various Companies, contractors, staffing firms and outside vendors in and around Chicago. My strongest background is in computer, server and peripheral hardware and support in an Engineer or Technician capacity. I have a strong technical aptitude and a knack to figure and fix pretty much any hardware or software related issue. I am mainly a Microsoft guy and have only done limited work with Linux, mostly Fedora and Red Hat. I am honest, professional and sincere with all my Customers and strive to get the job done in a timely and efficient manner.

Here I have finished installing Windows 98SE on this IBM Thinkpad T21 that I bought as scrap last week. All it needed was removing the supervisor password and a new hard drive so I took care of all that this afternoon. I have tested all the components and everything passed fine. Now I am making the finishing touches before I post it for sale on Craigslist.
