16 Years Strong: Goodbye Old Friend, Hello Windows 11

Way back in 2008, one of our long-time customers came to Bluesdigital looking for a business PC that lasts. His only requests? Something reliable enough to handle his work — and lights that made it look the part.

Fast forward 16 years later, and that same machine was still powering his business. We only saw it a handful of times in all those years, for a couple of services and a hard drive replacement. That’s how tough our systems are built.

But with new software needing Windows 11 compatibility, it was finally time for an upgrade. Instead of going anywhere else, he picked up one of our Premium Refurbished PCs. These aren’t your standard refurbs — they come with a 5-year warranty, rock-solid performance, and the best local support around.

He loved the new machine so much (yep, prettier lights included) that he also ordered our Hand-Built PC’s Ych Brych, so we have had a great time getting everything just right. We’ll be setting it up for him on-site tonight, moving over all his data so his workday doesn’t skip a beat.

This is why we love what we do. When we say our systems last — we mean it. And when it’s time to move forward, we’re right there to help.

Beyond the Myth: Why We Build to Last

Built to endure. Inspired by myth. Crafted for you.

Not every computer is for everyone — and we understand that.

Some people need something affordable and ready right now. Others need a quick repair to keep their current machine going. That makes sense — and it’s why we continue to fix and support a wide range of systems. In fact, we enjoy helping you find the solution that suits you best.

But when it comes to the computers we build, we take a different path. Every system that leaves our workshop is designed with one question in mind: will it still serve you years from now?

That’s why we choose components that stretch beyond warranties. That’s why we design against the flaws we’ve seen in countless repairs. That’s why our machines — Twrch Trwyth and Ych Brych — carry not just mythic names, but the promise of endurance.

We don’t measure success by how many units we sell, but by how long each machine remains a trusted companion.

If you’re looking for something built to endure, not just to exist — you’re in the right place.

The 1982 Nostalgia Trip 💾🕰️

They say you never forget your first… 🎞️ Tandy/RadioShack TRS-80 | 1982. That was the first time I sat down in front of a computer! ⌨️

P.S. Did you know? 💾 The original TRS-80 was nicknamed the “Trash-80” because it caused so much radio interference. If you put an AM radio next to it while a game was loading, you could actually hear the data “singing” through the speakers! 📻🎶

Fast forward to today, and while the tech has changed, the passion for solving problems hasn’t. Whether you’re still rocking a classic or need a 2026 high-speed workstation, for the most experienced Newtown computer services, we’ve got you covered.

What was your “Model 1” moment? Drop your first computer in the comments! 👇

iMac Woes

old iMac computer on a wooden workbench surrounded by tools

Had a lovely iMac 27″ in the other day with a dodgy hard drive.

Replacing the hard drive in these can be a bit of a nightmare, as you have to remove the screen to get at the innards, and that’s no mean feat!

It’s not a job that I look forward to as the screen is very big & liable to damage quite easily.

But as my client had a spare 2TB external SSD, I managed to get it set up with that, saving a lot of time trying to strip the beast.

It took quite a while to get it running again with all the usual Apple crazyness, but in the end it’s now running fast as ever.

Phew!
