I'm guessing that the rate at which technology makes components obsolete varies from part to part. I would like to know how often I would need to replace every component including: case, power supply, hard drives, memory, motherboard, etc. The reason why I am asking is that I am looking to build my first budget pc but don't want to be replacing the whole thing in a year. Which parts should I spend the money on and which parts can I be more frugal with?

Just wanted to know who you would blame in this situation. You work on computers, buy about 10-12 Pioneer DVD burners from a place called 'TigerD' and all of them have been working fine with no problems. You discover the same drives at 'OldEgg' website for $12 less, need to order some for an upgrade plus a custom build, so you get two of them... and BOTH are bad drives! Would you be ticked off at Pioneer or the OldEgg site?

One of the FIRST ones I bought has probably burned no less that 600 to 1000 CDs/DVDs/DL-DVDs and still works perfect - one of the "2" I bought elsewhere only burned a couple before making coasters then nothing at all.

[Friend said they wouldn't buy that brand again but I was thinking.. if you get a BUNCH at one place and all are good.. then buy just 2 at another place and they are bad.. I find it a little too coincidental.. like maybe the products are slammed around a little too much in the warehouse or something... possibly just a bad batch]

We are about buy a couple of new computers for our office. We traditionally have bought off-brand computers from our computer guy. I assume he makes a few bucks on the sale which is fine. However, are the name brand (Dell, etc...) better than the off brand computers? I want something that will last 5+ years without major problems. What would you buy and why?

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+
500GB HD
nVidia 7600GS Graphics

Obviously there are motherboard/DVD drives/moniters etc to consider bu I've got those narrowed down and mainly concerned with the above specs.
