The Computer Cellar is owned by Daryn O'Shea, who started Triangle Laptops in Charlotte, NC, and then began serving Durham in 2003. Initially the company focused on internet sales of laptop repair parts. However, as the company grew in Durham, the crew found themselves testing, repairing, and rebuilding laptops for internal use, as favors for friends, and eventually for resale. Naturally, they wanted to offer this experience and expertise to the beloved Durham community. In 2010, The Computer Cellar opened in the basement of the historic Couch Building on 9th Street.

At The Computer Cellar, we deal with laptop and desktop computers and, occasionally, other consumer electronics. However, we don't repair tablets or phones. If you're looking for repair services for your iPhone, Android device, Windows moble device, iPad, or other tablet, you might want to try one of these local services.
