Our History

Our history starts in 1989 when our local family began as a computer retailer then known as CCC Computer and operating from flea markets, mall kiosks and home. In January 1994 Tom opened our first retail location at 153 Simcoe St. S. and we changed our name Node-1 Computers. In 2002 the store was moved to 149 Simcoe St. S. In 2010 we moved again to 150 Simcoe St. S. Just shy of the 26th anniversary of our store opening we moved once again to the Midtown Centre on December 10, 2019. The company is still owned and operated by Ron and Richard now at 150 Simcoe St. S., Tom has since retired, we are brothers and still inhabitants of the local area. We have a vested stake in your satisfaction.

Why buy from businesses that are locally owned?

Local businesses with local owners are your neighbours.
We care more about your needs and concerns.
We are more easily available to service.
We offer a higher level of service and are more concerned with your satisfaction.
You support local economy, infrastructure and most importantly your community.

 


At Node-1 Computers we believe in helping the environment as much as possible.

To do our part we offer free electronics recycling drop off as a community initiative service. We take any electronics, computers, laptops, tablets, cell phones, TVs, DVDs, Blue Rays and so on. Unfortunately we cannot take small or large appliances.

If you drop off a computing device we will secure erase hard drives (make them unrecoverable) so that no one can get your data, nominal fees may apply. We will reset phones and tablets etc to erase your data.

We endeavour to reuse as many parts as possible and deliver all remaining items to be responsibly recycled.

The above services are available during our regular open hours.

Call to ask about pick up for large quantities.
