Diamond are, indeed, diamonds. For a self employed student,…read morecomputing facilities are vital, but money to deal with problems is short. When my laptop got the dreaded 'blue screen of death', they tried their very best to revive it, sadly to no avail. However, if they had, the £120 it would have cost me would have been half the price of a new machine, and of course, I would have saved all my files. Thankfully, I managed to inherit a friend's old machine, but was nearly foiled again when the power cable died. I looked in horror at various chainstore websites, selling replacements for around £80 - then I remembered Diamond, who sold me a universal charger for under £30.

Diamond Computers are a Brighton based computer and laptop repair company with over a decade of…read moreexperience behind them. I'm a little bit of a geek with computers, and quite often have my friends bring problems to me which I'm all too happy to fix. I even built the PC I'm typing on now! But when a soldering iron is needed, that's when I'd get in touch with Diamond. Aside from what I'd consider an overpriced fee for reinstalling windows (£49 for 20 odd minutes work?) the prices seem pretty reasonable, with laptop repair beginning at £25. And if you aren't tech savvy, but don't want to shell out for a new computer, Diamond can give advice and lend a hand with selecting and installing components for you! If you have a computer savvy friend you feel you can trust with your laptop/ desktop its probably worth asking them first, but for a professional service, Diamond are there if you need 'em.

Dean's Electronics is a local shop for local people, and one of the handful of surviving…read moreindependent businesses on St James' Street that sell practical goods rather than luxury items (think patisseries, delis, clothes, plants, furnishings...). Here's the place to go if you need an extension cable, a toaster, a wall clock and such like. There's a great stock with plenty of models of each item. The shop specialises in home electricals, incliding tv parts - though if you need anything computer related you wont find it here. And expect to pay a full whack £14.99 - £24.99 for a toaster - there're no smartprice options here! I asked the owner how he does for business when I went in there recently to buy a tv scart lead, and he sounded pretty positive, as I guess there's not too much competition this end of town. Nevertheless I imagine many people head to the city centre chains and the Asda hypermarket for many item... Anyway, enough waffling! Support Dean's Electronics because it's local and the owner is lovely - he even gave me money off my purchase cos it was near closing time and he'd had a nice day!
