Hi, When playing a game on our computer yesterday, my husband sneezed violently (don't laugh, he's very loud and literally ground-shaking) and the whole system powered off like a switch had been flipped.

Some months back I replaced the failed mobo and PS in my Compaq 5005CL with an MSI mobo and Enermax PS. I was unable to connect the front USB connectors to the mobo because the - presumably unique - Compaq cable did not fit the MSI mobo. I thought I could live with it, but now would like to have...

Buying a new laptop this week - for price and features, the Compaq R3030US (or if I decide I really need a DVD burner, the R3050) seems to have everything I could ask for, at a price I can afford. But how good are they? I've heard some negatives about Compaq, but then again I've heard bad things...
