Hopefully you'll be able to get your new one back and working!

I've never had to buy a computer, my brother has always built them, so hopefully your brother can do the same!

Kay, this is the first time I bought a desktop of my own. My brother has always built our desktops.....since he was in middle school, and he's really good at it. He just bought this HP cause he was sick of dealing with computers, but now it seems he has to do that anyway. The one he's fixing was built by him, and it lasted for YEARS. Only now did the harddrive die. Hopefully it will be fine after the upgrade, but this is just SO frustrating.

Laura, Dell's are pretty good, but for desktops, Gateways and Sony's are the best. They were just sooooo expensive that I didn't feel right to have my parents spend all that money for me. HP's and Compaqs don't last long though. I always knew Compaqs were bad, but sheesh.......now I think HP's are worse!!! I think Dell makes pretty good laptops...but I have several friends with Dell desktops, and they're not happy with them. Toshiba and Sony laptops are amazing, but I wasn't going to get a laptop at this point.

Computers can be SUCH a pain.
