Hi everybody ... recently my laptop computer was acting oddly: in the middle of my screen appeared a bright stripe. My neighbour is a computer engineer, so I asked for help; I should replace my screen with a new one, he said. Fortunately this time was only the screen! I had to buy a new graphic card one year and a half ago, but since it was attached to the motherboard, I had to replace that too.

In other words, my HP Pavilion zd8000 has a 'new' motherboard and grahic card (1,5 years - I've already spent 400 euros for it) and now I need to change a 17'' screen (265 euros); do you think it's a good idea?
It's an XP service pack 3 and I have all my programs in there (I can't use them on Vista). It was a good computer after all, I spent 700 euros and not 1.500 when I bought it 4 years ago ... personally I'd like to repair it instead of buying a new one. My father doesn't agree.

However I've my savings!
Tell me, what should I do? Repair the old one, or buy a new laptop?

If you need more informations, just ask. It's really important!
I'll aprecciate your opinion very much! =)
