      Yeah, I was expecting more of a build-your-own-PC type experience, but this was still really interesting. I had no idea that something like this was even possible! Thinking back to my time in Japan, I must have walked past a similar marketplace a dozen or so times, and not had any idea what I was looking at. Seems like a really interesting place, and I like the idea that (for those willing to try) you can repair just about any hardware issue on just about any device.
