It seems like RROD is lot less problematic then it was a year ago but thats no execuse to still have hardware failure. Also if your going to put in 2000+ hours a Jasper may be worth considering depending how much in electricity you will save running the newer machine. It could be a few dollars a month you could save in electricity but over a few years that could probably pay for a Arcade Jasper, or at the worst half of the cost. |
You make an excellent point. If I'm going to have to spend either $99 or $199 (assuming I decide not to monkey with it and try to get an RROD), then the savings over another 1-3 years in electricity might offset the difference considering how much the machine is on at our house. It's less likely to be a wash compared to a free refurb, but who knows...
