Re: OT: Worst PC Decision
I missed the Ruatha message. 
What really hurts is that a month after I finally built the system, all the prices for all the parts dropped by over half. Just in time for TribesCon too.

Re: OT: Worst PC Decision
Good Gawd Man! That's terrible and depressing. You should do what I do. Order it Online then tell the wife your getting a second job to pay for it. That leaves her very little time to get pissed.
Was the store Pacific Solutions?

Re: OT: Worst PC Decision
Well, I have built up my computers 2 or 3 times and they all worked out well. My latest buy was a whole CPU (first time I bought it as one buy), which has proved to be unstable for unknown reason. However, it works and my experiences are minor compared to yours. You have my compassion compeletely. It makes my problems seem quite bearable.

No, it was not.
Do you recall the store PC Hiedens? It was in Hillsburo (sp) and it was a great location to pick up parts. To bad it went under.
Enu is ok, but they are a bit arrogant. They are the ones who I bought those AMD chips from. They were very helpful in getting my money back over the bad chips. 
Frys Electronics is what I would call Ferengi Distributors Inc. You get what you pay for, buyer beware.

Re: OT: Worst PC Decision
well, thats quite a story. Really bad luck. More like a chain of bad luck events. I have to admit i never had ANYTHING that comes close.
There is just one thing i can tell you: Luck always balances out, so most propably you are going to have a lot of good luck in the next time (weeks, years, whatever) !
