you are right, better sell it.. It's just too much now. Is there a good place on the web to sell used parts? ebay?
hmmm.. a real pity, but that's what also one of the guys at the store said. You've done everthing you could, sell the parts and build a new one.
Seems that you have the $$ to start anew ..
my parents have the $$, and they are also quite p*** , of buying new hardware for the computer that would never work as it should.
good luck buddy
thanks..
