Hi Rob and fellow forum members,
I built a system using Rob's site and expertise 4 years ago. It is performed beautifully!! Many thanks.
It stopped working this week. Technicians that I brought it to said it needs a motherboard, power supply and graphics card. With labor will be $500.
The questions is and the recommendation I am looking for from the forum is:
Should I get the parts and try to assemble myself? Let them put them in and pay them labor? Or, get a new system?
Your suggestions will and are appreciated. Thanks.
