It looks alright. I would center the logo. Also, I think it would look better if the navigation was simplified a bit by moving the links to the top and all the sub categories to the side bar. For example, when your at the store the categories could be on the side rather than having to click the back button. Also you could do a similar thing with your services. And on pages that don't really have a need for sub categories (home, about) you could just stuff the sidebar with testimonials.

I would be wary about listing your hardware prices online. Any shopper who wants to buy computer parts online will likely be able to compare your prices to other sources and see that you are charging a lot more. You can get away with this when you sell in person but its harder to do with internet shoppers. If possible, get rid of the product ratings unless your confident that tons of people will buy your stuff and give good ratings.

Definitely center the logo and actually I would fill the whole header with it so there isn't any dead space there. Also on a couple of pages I would consider increasing the size of the font so it's a little easier to read. Other than that it's looks good.

you have an excellent website, just need to concentrate on its marketing and dont ignore its content as it will define whether your website is worth visiting again or not.

Unsure why, but "Are you wanting your home computer fixed ?" just doesn't sound right to me....just brainstorming here, but:

Would you like to have you home computer fixed?

or

Looking to have your home computer repaired?

seems to sound a bit better.

Edit: Run a spell checker. Then carefully proofread everything and if possible have two other people proofread it too. Example: "Here is 5 reasons" should be "Here are"

Ok this might seem like i'm nitpicking but i really like websites to be well designed (as it's my original speciality) and it's only constructive criticism.

1) The logo doesn't fit into the page, it looks like it was designed seperatly and stuck on top of the website, also it doesn't stand out, and being that customers will try to remember your logo when they are looking for you again you want it to stand out, try some outer glow or something if you're sticking with that colour scheme whic brings me to my next point.

2) The colour scheme, if you stare at the screen for a while, as a customer might if they're looking for a part etc, i found actually hurts my eyes, rather than using so much contrast try using subtle shades and smoothing of colurs so there isn't such a clash.

3)When a client rolls their mouse over a button the convention is that it 'Highlights' but i've found with yours that they do the opposite, now while this may be insignificant it does subtract from your website i feel in the clients eyes.

4) Possibly think about changin wording on the website like ” The nerd’s in the know so you don’t have to know “ to ” The nerd’s in the know so you don’t have to " and We’ll Courtesy polite and well dressed" to "We're Courteous, polite and well dressed"

5) We’ll fix it first time or it’s free
could be a big problem if they break it again and say you haven't fixed it, try reading this article and see if you still want to offer that. http://www.technibble.com/computer-repair-warranties/#more-3194
