With the new location came the opportunity to open our own computer shop in town. More then just a nice place to visit us and discuss your queries and wishes concerning everything to do with computers (welcome to a nice cup of coffee or tea), this now allows us to provide you with equipment and applications that we have selected ourselves.

Each item in our shop has passed the Mica criteria of giving excellent value for money whilst still offering you with high-class quality on which you can build your business. From computers, displays, printers, scanners and networking equipment to a wide variety of spare-parts to replace (or expand) parts of your current equipment, all at very affordable prices…

Affordable computing

Mica Computer Services is proud to be able to offer quality, future proof refurbished hardware at very affordable prices! Refurbished, meaning second hand, imported and then fully cleaned, tested and inspected and ready for years of operation. Proving that second-hand does not mean second best, we are offering three combinations of a A-brand computers system with energy and space saving 15″ TFT flat screens. These P4 machines fly when using Windows XP (or better, Ubuntu Linux), with ample memory, disk space and even a CD-(re)writer + DVD combo drive.

These powerful computers come fully licensed with Microsoft Windows XP Professional and are therefore completely ready for use. A perfect combination to expand your internet cafe or the computer science lab at your school! Why not drop by our shop and convince yourself? Read the rest of this entry »
