Computer tower blows up!

There was a pop and a puff of smoke and the computer was gone.......
Likely death by dust bunnies.
So now the question is - can the hard drive be rescued? (and if not can smugmug save me?!?:uhoh )
Then the question is what do I do to repalce this? We were in need of more storage space anyway, so simply buying a new tower and more space is one option. But I am considering a second computer at this point - one just for my stuff. Time to read the windows vs. mac arguements I guess.

Will allow us to contemplate (and figure out how to afford) another computer or not.

Really?
And it turns out I lost one program - Raw Shooters Essentials won't run, won't re install.

Should you need them in the future, I've used a company called Action Front
Data Recovery in Santa Clara. They're a Canadian company with offices in
Toronto as well as other locations. Action Front's web page.
No connection to AF except as a satisfied customer.

You should work with laptops
imagine (failed disks).
Just so you know, there's a reason that part was yielded the way it was
OC'ing works to a degree but hey, 3x?
