PC Consumables is located on Headingley Lane, just in Hyde Park, an ideal location for any student…read morewho's computer has had a meltdown.
They sell every computer staple you really need, including blank CDs, USBs, printer ink etc etc, and the man behind the counter fixes computers.
A few years back, my laptop broke, and I desperately needed it fixing, without sending it away. PC Consumables was close to my halls, so I decided to go there, instead of taking it into town, so I could just pick it up on the way home from uni. When I went to pick it up, I was fed a load of jargon, and if I'm honest, I was not sure about whether I trusted him. But he said it was fixed- at the steep and crippling price of £100. Needless to say, I was devastated when it still kept on turning off unprompted, and he appeared to have done nothing.
Angrily, I went back and, having had my own theories about what was actually wrong with it, I told him. He said he'd have a look. Sure enough, I was right (to a certain extent), and he fixed the computer "for free". He said there would be no charge. At the time, I couldn't have thanked him enough, as it was working perfectly again, but on reflection, I'd been well and truely 'done'.. and I am still bitter..
Having got over this minor mishap, years on, I still use PC Consumables when I'm passing. It's good residential location and (other than for the fixing) cheap prices makes it a very handy little place if you desperately are in need of ink or a USB stick.
