All I have to say is Im broke becuase of my stupid computer. I took it into this shop. Turns out the motherboard was fried and I had to have it replaced (Slot A - for AMD 750mhz). Those boards are DAMN hard to find by the way. If you have a choice, go with Socket A boards. Motherboard - $60 (A Open - yeah I know they are crappy boards, but Im broke damnit). 2 hours of labor = $90 (Kind of a rip off to me, but I guess they get paid to do what I dont know about). So basically I am going to be living off Ramen noodles and generic corn flakes for another 2 weeks when I get paid.
Schiznitz!! Are you kidding?!?! Dude I dont know how people live without a PC, because I was having serious SEPERATION ANXIETY when she was gone.
AOpen's aren't necessarily any worse than any other mobo. I've used them in the past with no real problems. Is it an AX6BC? I have a Duron running on one of those. Been running for a year or two with no problems. The labor is a rip-off... always is in just about any industry. If all they did was mount a mobo into a case for you, and I guess hook up your hard drives then they've got mush for brains if it took 2 hours.
