Only once have I paid more than $300 for a bike; that one still came in under $1000

Computer question: Our 5 year old HP desktop "tower" won't turn on. I am fairly sure the problem is the power supply, and I can get a new one for $50-60 on ScamBay. I am reasonably confident I can replace it but I also know it will cause wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth and there is at least a 20% chance that I will mess it up and not get the damn thing working anyway.
I should just take it out back and shoot it, right? And get a new desktop??

Ten day forecast shows a high of 98, tomorrow, and then nothing over 95. We seem to be settling in to normal conditions for this time of year. Finally. It was downright chilly yesterday afternoon.

Canyon Aerroad - though, I don’t really want something limited to 30mm and with 20mm ID wheels.
Soloist built up using Force AXS and my existing Zipp 303s wheels. Or just buying the Force AXS complete bike (or Ultegra Di2)
Giant Propel w. Force AXS
Will keep the Aspero as a gravel bike.

I vote Propel. I am a bit of a Giant fanboy, though. On my second TCR. When it comes to replace my TT (Felt DA2) and aero road bike (Spesh Venge), I will consider the Trinity and Propel, respectively.

Could be- but unlikely
I won’t give away my secrets.
In all likelihood I’ll probably wait until I know what my bonus will be next spring.
