Glad the new one's working well, I was just wondering if, when you were having all those problems however long ago, you checked the power supply. Power supplies are often overlooked, yet are one of the surest causes for multi-component failure. Apparently, computer parts like to get the proper amount of electricity.

Just get a pre-made and add a few components (ie: graphics card) to make you feel like you built it. *NM*

If you like tinkering, then build one. Quality control is all on you, but it's "yours" then.
