God, you know what? warranties in general suck. I find most of the time if you try and get something fixed through the warranty than you're going to be without a computer for weeks, at least!

Another thing a friend mentioned is that maybe I could try building a computer on my own, which would be even cheaper. I'd have to research specific parts, but I bet I could do it. I took Computer Fundamentals! I have a screw driver! :P
