What is a reasonable cost to replace the motherboard?
My Dell XPS 18 motherboard went out last week. I sent it in to the Best Buy repair service and they want to charge me $1060 to replace the motherboard. I am shopping around for a better deal. Is it worth replacing or is it better to invest in a new PC? In the past 5 years, when I've replaced PCs, they have lasted 1-2 years before dying on me. Advice?
Is this a good question?

YOu can buy a GREAT computer for $500; only an idiot spends twice as much to repair one

You can get your dell laptop completely repaired with new mother board at Office Depot technical Dept for about $300 that’s the best deal I found and I had another one repaired at a computer repair store which ended up costing more and had to put back in a couple of times to get the kinks out.
Office Depot recommended it be repaired because it was such an expensive computer to replace.
Had to pay about $80 up from for diagnostics but took it off the final bill. My suggestion find a good Office Depot if you don’t have reputable computer repair store. If you have to keep taking back to computer store for minor repairs you need to find another store!
