"...but why do they charge you so much just to look at the thing! Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated" Put simply it is the case at this point in time that actual product (almost no matter what is but especially PCs) are sold extremely cheap these days, however the cost of human labour to service them in their destination market is high. In general it is traditionally the case that as a society's labour force acquires more rights so it also becomes more expensive to employ. The places where a lot of our electronic goodies are made have labour forces that are much cheaper but also enjoy far fewer rights. Those of us who do not have the arcane knowledge or skills have to go to those who do, and consequentally pay that price. Actually replacing the PC power supply is quite easy but knowing that is what the problem is takes a little more skill and knowledge, although a multimeter in the right places would help. Regards.
