Fried computer, what to do?

Ikurei - Dreamweaver

Ok, long story short, I was an idiot and fried my computer after plugging it in while on a trip to Korea. Now I need some advice.

At the moment I'm using a cheap notebook that I bought to post this and it barely runs PW (ungodly lag and frequent disconnects make playing impossible so expect to see me posting here a lot).

I've taken my computer to get fixed and the price for repairing it is almost enough for me to buy the same computer (seriously, what the hell?b:angry). I blew almost all my money on the plane tickets and the rest went into gifts and food. I do have enough to either pay for the repair or buy another computer but I'd be completely broke afterward.

What I'd like to know is whether I should just suck it up and pay the costs or just accept that I won't be playing PW any time soon (one way to get over the addiction, I suppose). At this point I've only been using PW as a giant, interactive chatroom instead of doing things like leveling and quests but I do miss some of my online friends.

Not sure how to vote for this one. Would be so much easier if we could have more than one. I'd say a combination of fresh air and new computer. Wait little while before getting a new computer. This way, you can go outside, do some stuff, and earn some more money. By doing this, you might even be able to get a computer that's slightly better. Doesn't have to be a major upgrade, just something that'll get you farther than the last one. And, if you want the same model, you can do that with a bit left over for something else by doing this. But that's just what I'd do. If you can't live without a good computer for that long, then repairs should be cheaper, even if it's only a few dollars.

Is the new computer better or worse then the last one? Will the new one be able to play your fav games (pwi)? You can decided the answer from that. Or if there things you would rather do or get instead of repairing/buying a new pc I say go for it.
