So I woke up a few days ago to my computer not working....stayed on boot screen w/out booting. I opened up the side panel to see what the problem could be and found the power cable to HD was completely unplugged. I have no idea how it could have happened, as they are a nice snug fit, else the HD won't work, and I had just been on the computer before going to sleep. I turned it back on and it still showed the same symptom, so I tried my wife's laptop HD and it still did not work. I came to the conclusion that the motherboard is now of no use, and have gone to my favorite spot (geeks.com) to get a new one.

Now a new problem presented itself. The only one available (the only onle compatable with the rest of my hardware set-up) was going to be too big to fit my oddly sized Acer tower. Solution?...A new tower case as well. As my wife is going to school and recieving her financial aid for nursing, I was looking at a month's wait in order to even purchase anyything...until my good friend, Mike, offered to pay for it all and so I can pay him back when the funds are available to do so.

As soon as I am able to I will reunite with you guys in the wow...
