Elisha 1 #1 May 2, 2007 As in, I need a new computer. Either my power supply, motherboard, CPU or all of them got fried due to my shitty power strip shutting off frequently. The computer is over 3 years old - an eMachines, so I should probably get another box instead of trying to fix this. I REALLY hope my harddrive is ok. What would you do? I'm fine with my present monitor, keyboard/mouse and printer. It would be nice to have a nicer sound card and newer other internal stuff. I want to spend the least amount of $$$ possible - just a box. Besides craigslist, what are my options? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest #6 May 3, 2007 Once you purchase a new machine, get a techie to install the hard drive from your old machine as a secondary in the new one. You'll still be able to access all your applications and data. mh . "The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
