Computer stuff
« on: October 06, 2012, 08:23:44 PM »
As you know (If you read my time away forum) my computer took a shit on me and i was wondering would it be cheaper to rebuild my computer completely or just go ahead a buy a new 1?

Depends what fucked you over. I'm not very computer savvy but it really does vary on what caused the problem. It would likely be cheaper to just rebuild it because you could still make use of the old parts that might work.

Keep everything that works and test them interchangeably on another PC to make sure they do; then buy the parts you need and a new case. Usually if nothing works it's either the mobo or PSU; and if your Mobo is out that sucks cause the semi-decent ones are between 120-200$ and the really good ones are 200-500$.

Buying a computer piece by piece is  often cheaper because there's no assembly fee and whatnot; but anywho good luck.
This whole thing is a travesty.

For starters, Pillz is obviously the sexiest.

Ok, if it is the motherboard, check the processor and ram completely, as when a motherboard goes bad, it typically harms those components.

What do you have?  Processor, Ram (amount, type and speed?) Graphics card? Power supply brand and wattage?

If the motherboard went bad, check the power supply, too.
