Hi everyone,

A couple of weeks ago I had a leak in my roof, right above where my computer stood. You can guess what happened next... The water destroyed my Alienware's motherboard and its power supply. Do you think I could replace these parts? Not necessarily with the original parts, but with any replacement that could do the job. The power supply shouldn't be too difficult, but I really don't know enough about computers to just buy a new motherboard without consulting someone first. Also, would I need a new case for these new parts? Or do you think I'd be better off buying a new computer altogether? I know Alienware isn't very popular, but it would be a waste to just not use all the parts in there that still work perfectly well.

Thanks in advance,
Ruben
