I try to stick with a computer as long as possible, esp. if it's a decent one. However, some crucial parts on mine are showing signs of wear. The connection between the hard drive and motherboard seems to be slightly unstable (sometimes just causing grumpy beeps from my harddrive, sometimes causing random restarts); I'm not sure which is more at fault. I also have a problem with the SATA and power cables sometimes working slightly loose.
But both are no doubt somewhat the worse for wear from having to endure several unwanted shutdowns from the circuit popping.
So I need recommendations for replacements, ideally inexpensive (as far as such components go)
* The motherboard must have PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports, ideally must have 3.5mm speaker and headphone jacks, and should have a decent number of USB ports as well as auxiliary card sockets on the board itself
* The harddrive must be at least 2 terabytes, since that's what I have now.
I might need to replace the CPU too.
I'm also wondering if you can get more flexible SATA cables these days.
