Probably cluelessness is number 0, real computer experts start
counting at zero.

I have one self assembled PC here that has been running more than 10
years 24/7
with the same harddisks (Seagate), only the power supply was replaced
because replacing it was cheaper than finding the bad caps in it.
But this is a top notch mobo, Tyan.
Graphics card was replaced too.
Every PCI slot is in use.

Many [online] shops in the Netherlands sell complete systems,
Norrod, Alternate, some have an online system where you can select the
right components.
You absolutely need a 'randaarde' (ground) on your PC, as well as your
monitor,
basically on anything you plug into it except for Ethernet (that is
isolated),
and optical audio.
If you do not, then your new (next) PC will die too withing a very
short time.
Connect those power cables first, that makes sure everything is on the
same ground,
then start with the rest.


This guy just seems to buy bad stuff.
His brain is basically ****ed !!


He has a brain? Doesn't display much evidence of possessing such a thing!
