Any interest in refurbished desktop towers running Linux Mint instead of Windows, probably in the $150 range?

So, is it time for another "What do you do/sell?" post? I think it might be!

Watrous Electronics opened in 2015, and my aim was to be a place where people could benefit from my knowledge and experience with computers, cell phones and tablets. I carry cell phone and tablet accessories (charging cables, cases,screen protectors, car mounts, bluetooth speakers), computers, laptops, tablets, computer accessories (mice, keyboards, printers, printer ink, USB cables, dongles), and some basic audio/video items. I also carry some gaming accessories like headsets and controllers. If I don't have something in stock that you need, I'm usually able to order it in.

I also repair computers, cell phones and tablets. This includes replacing parts, backing up data, or making sure everything is running the way it's supposed to (system cleanups and antivirus scans)

I'm also aware that some people don't know I'm here, so please spread the word. The best advertisement is a personal recommendation!
