RIP Computer

Computer tech friend diagnosed computer problem: not the CPU fan or the power supply--the motherboard. FATALITY!!

...So now I need a new desktop computer. Blech. Old but reliable docked laptop will make do until I can find one. Hopefully one that I don't consistently max out the processor on. RIP, old desktop.

I've also had good luck with the Dell Outlet. Just be aware that things go through there quickly - I decided there wasn't much point in looking unless I had credit card in hand.

I look through there early in my buying process to get an idea of price ranges, but like you say I don't get attached to one specific one until I'm ready to buy.
