- Internal ZIP 100 - Although it was several years old. I had even taken it apart and fixed it once a couple years ago.
- 350 watt PS - I replaced it with one I had laying around.
- 15" IBM G50 monitor - It was a used monitor I repaired a few years ago.
I have a friend who works at a bank, she said they were getting all new LCD monitors and would I like to have a bunch of there old stuff? Heck yes! 5 17" Dell monitors, 5 sets of Harmon Kardon speakers, 5 keyboards, 5 mice.......Jackpot!

Damn guess I have not been abusing too much this year. I have a Pioneer 16X slot load DVD that wont play DVD's anymore but it still works fine with CD's. Other than that I have not killed or had anything die on me. {knocking on wood}

I haven't burned out anything this year. That's pretty strange. I usually do a processor or two.

I guess I am a bitch, I've never had anything break. Well, last year my 5 year old 24x CD-Rom drive broke, and we destroyed it with some outstanding glory, but that is about it. I guess I am a bitch to my equipment? I still have the first monitor I ever had, and it works perfectly.
