Please list the PC parts that have died on you or have been killed {accidently of course
}
Came down one morning to find my 19" NEC FP950 monitor was dead and out of warranty by a few weeks.
Talked with NEC on the phone. The guy said even though the monitor was out of warranty by 7 weeks they would still consider it under warranty and do a cross-shipment. Basically they shipped me a refurbished FP950 and I shipped back the old dead one. The only costs to me were shipping the old dead FP950 back.

duno yet... have to see how money pans out this summer... if i get lucky and find a diesel that will fit it that would be kick ass... other wise ill just have the thing rebuilt or trade it for a used one or somthing.
Hey for $200 that bus has done more then i thought it would.
