Apple This holiday season I was given some Christmas money, and I wanted to purchase a DVD burner for my G4 Apple Macintosh computer. When I purchased my computer, I was wise in buying a tower since they are upgradeable, right? WRONG!

What about Dell, let me tell you about Dell,

My DC board went out on my Dell Inspiron 7500 laptop. I called Dell to order another one and was told that I had to buy the entire motherboard for over $400.00. The laptop was not worth that! I ended up getting the part on Ebay for $12.000. Did you try Ebay.
Here is one that is at $6.50

Your problem is not just with Apple. Try getting an HP power supply on a machine that is three years old!
