Fix It Or Get The Gadgets?

[finty]

As some of you may know I recently built a computer for myself. After having it completed for just over a month I got into a, ummm, disagreement with a family member after which my computer became the target of a vicious attack. There was quite a bit of damage done which will require £300+ to fix, at the minute I have £150 but I am very tempted to sell the remaining parts and get enough money for a PSP and a Rio Karma.

I decided to let you guys decide as I can't. So what should it be, fix the computer or get the gadgets?

Note the lack of a joke option, this is because I want to know what you really think.

kill the guy who have destroyd the parts and use his money to buy new ones, use your own money for gadgets.

Come on, you can't leave us likethis! Tell us more....

If that was your only computer I would get another computer. If you have another, I would get the psp and the rio. Your pc must have taken a thrashing considering they are pretty tough. I used to ride around the dorm on my old pc in a server case, and it still works great! my dad uses it now...

I am curious to see some pictures... maybe....

The side was off as I had been working at it the day it happened. I can't really tell you more than I already have, sorry.

Vimacs: If only that were an option, unfortunitly the bitch doesn't have much money.

 

[Vimacs]

dont you or he have a insurance?

 

[finty]

What type of insurence? Life? House?

 

[speedmike]

Ahhhhh that explains a lot! Sorry about your computer again....

 

[Vimacs]

dont know what its called in english, a insurance that pays for things he damages
but a life insurance would also help with the problem....

Don't have that in England...

I don't have here neither

 

[Vimacs]

its called liability insurance.

I'd wait before you buy a Karma

since they are gonna stop producing them soon, so the price should drop considerably

if not get a broken one off ebay (Scroll Wheel broken etc) since u will most likely break it anyway

 

[finty]

If the scroll wheel is broken wouldn't that render the Karma useless? I thought they had stopped making them already.

Vimacs: I wish we had that here.

EDIT: Oh and you guys arn't helping, 50/50 ATM.

What is actually damaged?

nah, the scrollwheel is just another way to navigate, besides the red stick

​

Graphics card is wrecked, so is the mobo and all the fans/coolers. I might be able to fix the mobo though. Oh and I need a new case.

magoo: Cool, I'll look into that. Have you had any problems with yours freezing/breaking?

​

sometimes it freezes, but a whack or a pin to reset clears it up

 

[Vimacs]

case damaged? wth have been done to that poor pc?

 

[finty]

no wonder they didnt show the cpu clock speed, its worse then mine but still some specs are good...

​

Actually it didn't take much for the case to "warp" and the plastic door to snap. I think I'll go for a silver one next time .

magoo: Does the reset button wipe the HDD?

If you have another computer to replace it, I say buy the gadgets. If you don't(seems like you do though cuz you're on one now, but I don't know the exact situation), fix the computer.
