Okay, heres the deal. I will be going overseas to finish up my degree next semester for 2years. I have a fairly decent computer right now, but earlier this evening, the PSU went out. Which is weird, because it was the Corsair 520w one, and only been used for about a year. Anyways, do you guys think I should consider buying a laptop, and part out my current system, or buy another PSU? All I currently play is CS:S. Other uses are for school and surfin. I will be moving far away for school next semester, so this will be a beast to ship. It weighs almost 40lbs, if not more. It is in an Antec case.

The computer specs are listed below.

CPU: E6600
motherboard: p5b deluxe
PSU: Corsair 520hx This is dead currently.
Ram: 2gb DDR2 PC800
HDD 1 and 2: Seagate 250gb 7200.10
Video Card: 7900gs 256mb DDR3
 
i wouldve recommended a corsair power supply but seeing how you originally had one.....

dont you have a five year manufacture warranty on that though? but unless your in a hurry since your going overseas here a power supply i like. it is sort of pricey but yeah.
 
As you said, shipping will be a bitch. So, I suggest just RMA'ing the PSU with Corsair. Sell the replacement. Part out the rest of your system and buy a laptop that can play cs:s.
 
It's in an antec P180B. The full tower. Thing is heavy as heck.

Does the Corsair 520hx have a 5 year warranty? It says it has a parts warranty of 5 years, so can I just technically send it in and have it repaired?
 
Yah, it has a 5yr warranty.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I RETURN A PART UNDER THIS WARRANTY?

The part you return will be tested upon receipt at Corsair. If the part is a good part according to Corsair’s test, it may be shipped back to you, or it may be replaced with an equivalent part. If the part fails Corsair’s test, it will be replaced by an equivalent (or better) part that passes the test.

Buy the PSU after you get where you are going. Then you wont have to worry about finding the right plug adapter.

Check you PC as luggage on the plane. It wont cost much. Just pack it good. (Or pack everything separate and buy a new cheap case too, when you get there)
 
Okay, I have an update.

I found out, it's not my PSU. When I opened the case a few days ago, the "ASUS" on the motherboard was lit up. I then checked the PSU, and it worked. I then plugged the PSU back into the motherboard, and all connectors. The fan on the CPU started spinning, but no other fans were working. I am not quite sure what is wrong.

The computer will not boot up. I'm not sure, maybe part of the motherboard shorted out?
