March 1, went to record a song for a friend of mine to do the whole "dude i'll play your stuff and tag you!" thing on instagram. Collaborations are pretty big these days. Anyway, turned on the pc and BOOM blue screen (always and forever a PC user for recording music) Error turns out to be an error in the motherboard. It's over 10 years old. I got a ton of use out of that thing.
Fast forward to March 16, after searching and looking at over 400 PC's on various websites, I found a Refurbished one on NewEgg.com It has similar specifications to the one I am using as my main computer(gaming, mixing, typing this!) just more little features like bluetooth, wifi, and 2 TB hard drive for 220$
The reason I can't buy a new PC is because I absolutely have to have something with Windows 7. All of my software, hardware, and recording stuff is made to be used for windows 7/8. Anything after that, I would have to replace my hardware and software and that's just money I do not wanna spend!
It comes in Thursday evening. I hope it is exactly what I am hoping for.
Peace!
