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.

About Me

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.

Today I worked on Carl's laptop which had a blue screen of death (BSOD) error and a corrupted Registry probably due to a virus. I did have a copy of a Dell Restore CD that I used to restore Windows XP Home Ed SP2 and he was up and running again in a couple hours. I installed AVG Anti-Virus, Adaware Anti-Spyware, CD Burner XP Pro and a few other great open source applications to give him an alternative to Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player.
