Is it cheaper and better to replace computer hardware or just buy a new computer?

Eclipseoftheheart asked:
Our dell is broken. The CPU is clogged and the motherboard is damaged. It keeps shutting off saying that it is due to a thermal event. Please explain the cost difference between the two options considering these following things:
-if we buy a new computer we would have to pay to have someone set up the networking and we would have to purchase anti-virus softwares.
- we also have no idea how much it costs to replace hardware because we are not sure to what extent the hardware needs to be replaced?

Could someone give us a minimum and maximum expected cost quote?

How to get an OS for used computers I buy?
Filed Under Desktops | 8 Comments
scott k asked:
I am starting up a computer repair shop in my town and one of my plans i would like to do is to buy used computers, refurbish and resell them. I have hit a hard spot though. Most of the PCs im finding have no OS and PC people want to trade in with me, they want completely erased (understadably). How can I go about getting an Operating system onto these systems other than buying OEM software (since it’s like 100 extra bucks)

How do I find out if computer hardware is compatible with my computer?
Filed Under Desktops | 8 Comments
soccerman1990 asked:
I’m looking to buy a new hard drive, and I found one at a good price and with double the capacity I have now. My question is, I am not sure if its interface (SATA 3.0Gb/s) is compatible with my computer. How do I find that out. Do I actually have to open up my computer?
Or is there some sort of utility I can download that can analyze my computer?
