Fair enough, pardon my previous skepticism, I hope things are going better for you now!

Completely understandable; My modern system has suffered enough hard disk failures to put it in the 2 digit range, and I've gone through around 7 graphics cards. Likely the result of having a computer that is constantly exposed to extremely tropical humidity and sea air. The last graphics card I had to die (only a few nights ago as a matter of fact) has rust on it, and is only a year old.

They don't build em like they used to! The Pentium 1 interior blew me away upon opening it. Not a tad of corrision, rust, or even dust! Also the disks are still in top notch shape and seem to read just fine.
