Since I ordered my new DS computer the following has happened:

My UPS got fried for no apparent reason
My PSU died, switched to a backup one
3 case fans have completely died since then
Video card fan has not died, but has begun to rattle VERY loudly
Last night one of my HDDs decided it wouldn't spin up anymore


I'm pretty sure that the computer knows it's about to be replaced, and it's determined to take everything it can with it.

Wow, maybe my computer knows too.
I have swiped it clean and gotten rid of almost all of my documents and files, but it is very stubborn and suddenly my computer won't let me go onto my profile.  Also, my sale on ebay was supposed to end today, but for some reason it was canceled two hour before the top bidder won.  So I have another week to repost on ebay and keep this laptop alive.  Also, my ac adapter just died.
