Subject says it all.

My 4.5 year old computer died about 2 weeks after getting Rift.

Hopefully sometime fall/winter I have a new one.

I did call Trion and they said they would comp me my time on my account. That may not matter cuz who knows if anyone will still be playing by then.

So have a good summer and stay safe.

I'm wondering if we can all part out a new comp for you?
I know I have a few power supplies, RAM and a HD sitting around.

oh, and my work is having an auction of all the old computers something we do this twice a year. All computers are no more than 2 years old.
They aren't awesome but put a decent graphics card in it and it will get you by. They average about $150. they are Dell's. I'll look at the specs and post.

Check and make sure they have expansion slots before you get them. Dell tries to pinch pennies by not even paying for standard pci/pci express slots to be soldered onto the board.

At worst, one could end up with a BTX-based motherboard.
Stay away from the desktop models and bet on the towers.

Try Cyberpower

Got a kick arse machine for $1500 (also used a two year old 15% off code that worked).
