I just returned from the computer place retrieving my tower. They did tell me about the broken pin, and charged me 45 dollars to boot for minimal service fee. Inside the guy's voice was that poindextery trigger that set off the mortal strike hotkey inside of me and I gave the employee the firm tongue lashing he deserved. 45 bucks is like half the value of the machine. It'll be a few hours before he can be healed normally, I assure you.

I knew I shouldn't have taken it to a computer repair place. They're the mayors of rip off town. 45 bucks is like...vodka redbulls. 

So now I'm studying up on replacing the harddrive. Craptical magic.
