How to replace your power supply:

I would like to offer a laptop solution. I 2-box just fine on an Asus k55a. But I dont know if its for you, I use external keyboard, monitor (24"), and mouse when at home. Mine is a i5-2450m at 2.5ghz with 6 gigs of ram and a 64bit win7 operating system. It sells at walmart for $598, but I found mine on craigslist for $350 brand new. The kid wanted a mac instead and so his parents bought him one and he sold the k55a to me. I know the Asus k55a series comes with different options depending on exact model. So if you arent dead set on a desktop you can do it all on a laptop and still have the advantage of a portable machine, on a budget. So this will run eq 2-boxing just fine, dont know about other games...there are other games?

Refurbished systems I dont know much about but they seem like a good deal?

k55a's on google:

So I just got back from Best Buy, the dudeat geek squad said they charge $30 for installation and they'd check what was fried (if anything ) when the power supply went. So that's good news I guess. Now it's just. Mount up with the cash to get everything fixed

Picking up the computer tomorrow they installed a new power supply and they said everything booted up just fine. Going to buy a new surge protector in case that's what caused the failure
