Computer woes are really tiring. Replaced PSU but the computer is dead. Could be fried motherboard or GPU or whatever but, details aside, it's just a pain in a rear end. Have brought it to people who apparently know what they are doing so they can diagnose it. The motherboard I have would cost about £400 to replace, assuming I could get one. The hassle is not even major in the grand scheme of things. It just feels needless and tiring.

I feel like my computer is now a Spinal Tap drummer at this stage.

Wattage was 650. Not sure about the specs of the PC off the top of my head other than it's a bit of a beast. It's made for creating and rendering graphics so it is designed to perform.

At no point have I had to know the wattage of a PSU either which is a blessing!
You tell how much they trust their own hardware by the fact you only get a one years warranty regardless of how much you spend on a computer.

Originally posted by vanpeebles View PostI had a G3 laptop that was a pile of poop, had the logic board replaced under warranty. I had to replace the keyboard (just died), and the screen twice. I had a G3 titanium that had a dodgy video cable (common fault). When I got my G5 I had to made sure it was not the liquid cooled one, as they had common issues with leaking and corroding themselves to death. The best one I had was the G4 Gigabit ethernet. I've no desire for another one, and I won't pay through the nose for standardised PC hardware with an apple logo.
