Hey guys like the tittle says, i need to buy or borrow a PC. I'm located in Los Angeles but work in Orange county so i can really travel anywhere. I'd prefer to pay someone to borrow as i'm waiting for the new tool by davidb, i think its the ultimate detailing tool or something.

My PC took a poop in the middle of a detail this past week so i decided to go to Lowe's and buy a new one. After searching for twenty minutes i asked one of the employees to do a search on the computer by model number and manufacturer, which turned up interesting results.
