    current pricing of older (working) components

    As I'm currently in the process of building yet another PC, I'm looking to either sell my first build or, more than likely, part out the pieces. (CL has been a bomb with no replies for the entire system, but then again, $350 may be high considering the current pricing for NEW). I have...

    ...And "POOF" she was gone!

    Just a general question as no one sees to know for sure what exactly got fried during this "incident". My parent's computer recently wouldn't power up: when they took it to a local shop, the report they got back stated, simply, "Power button loose, HDD Test Failed, Ram Failed." Having already...
