To clarify, only one power supply went bad. It had about 17,000 hours on it. The most it was off in the past two years, was for about 16 hours while I moved. Two weeks ago when the power supply bit the dust, it took the mobo and proc. I finally bought a new mb and proc today. I upgraded to Socket 939 which gives me the option for dual core *drool*. Due to cost concerns, I have opted for a single core Athlon 64 3000. I also spent the money for a better power supply this time.

I would love to do the mac thing. Give me that 64 bit desktop environment and I'd be a happy man. However, as I mentioned earlier, cost is a concern. Looking at cost/power, I can't justify spending the $$. Believe it or not, with the proper research, one can build an extremely stable 64bit desktop for a decent price.

Maybe I'll post the specs for my new*ish box later.
