To be honest... had I know that the maintenance on a computer machine could be so high, I would not have gotten one. I have a Bernina 440 and it's going on 4 yrs old with no problems. It's actually been a complete gem to sew on. My hub (a retired diesel mechanics instructor) likes to take it apart and clean it up, but I've HEARD that IF the mother board goes out... you're in DEEP $$$ TROUBLE.
I will STAY on my search for a well used Bernina 930 until I'm 100 yrs old....lol
