My computer exploded and died.

edited December 2008 in Social Entropy++
So this afternoon my computer decided to kill itself thanks to a short of some nature in the power supply. Miraculously the CPU and the Hard Drive survived, but my motherboard, video card and memory were ruined. All in all the original value of these items came to just under $550 before tax or shipping.

Fuck me if I can afford any of this. I need money to replace all this, and I was hoping SE could help.

I would really like to post a link to the www.chipin.com page here, but I'm not sure if that counts as soliciting. So for now just let me say that if you would like to donate a few bucks to help you can PM me for the link, and that I greatly appreciate if I were to even get a single dollar. Thanks in advance and happy holidays.

TL;DR - My computer died, I'm broke, PM me if you want to help.

    as cool as you are

    I don't think it's a very good idea to make a thread

    put it in your sig

    when i was dead broke and didn't eat for 4 days did I make a thread asking for money?
    no
    because that's silly

    computers aren't necessary
