New computer set up. Wonky hard drive replaced.
Naturally there's another problem that might mean I have to take the case back and exchange it for anohter one - namely, that if you manage to touch the front of the case and spark it with static while it's on, it restarts. Er. Not good. Him Wot Does Not Want To Be Called The Boy had to catch his flight home before we could thoroughly troubleshoot this, and Himself says that he's never run unto this before. He thinks that there's something inside the case not grounded, but has no idea what it might be. (The outlet it's plugged into is grounded - I checked that.) Anyone run across anything like this before? I'll be calling friends of mine wot do computer installation stuff for a living at some point soon, but I'm hoping we can figure out the problem and fix it without taking everything out and putting it all in a new case, because that would be a bit on the tedious side. :/
(OTOH, I'd much rather have one component go bad and the ability to go buy a new one and replace it, rather than having to send the whole thing back. XD)
Will give y'all the specs so that you can drool over it later, after the immediate problems are fixed. XD
