Hardware failure hell

For the last several weeks I've been battling a series of failing hardware - seemingly a losing battle, as well.

Last weekend I got angry at the server I've been using to host my email and such for years (An ABIT-BP6 with Dual Celeron 466s in it.), so I went out and bought an Athlon 64, case, power supply, memory to use to replace something.

I ended up (after several failures at other ideas) replacing my gaming machine with that, and moving harddrives around in other hardware so that everything else works.

First, I have to reinstall Windows XP on it (not really sure why), then after I do that, it still has spontaneous crashes to deal with, which may have been related to the bad ram I had.

Now it appears the gaming machine has killed its harddrive. sigh
