has finally caught up with me, and I don't know whether I should call my dad
and have him solder it back on for me, get a motherboard off eBay, or get a
190c or 5300c or ce and swap the hard drive out of my current 190.

I'm going to go ahead and resolder the connector, look into replacing the
power supply, and see how long I'd have to save to go to a 1400, 3400 or
