4 - Purchase new computer - this time I'm building my own.
Does that mean you are rescinding your prior endorsements for
e-machine?
Not at all - it is what it is - a basic computer that works well.
Cheap
and easy to work with.
Just don't expect it to last forever.
Somehow.... I see a vast distinction between "not lasting forever" and
"bursting into flame".....
Maybe it was half full of dog hair and cigar ashes...

Don't smoke in the house and we do own a vacuum cleaner. :)

I own two dogs, vacuum (not as much as we should) and keep a hepa filter
in each room. I am always amazed at the amount of dander that ends up
inside the computer. I keep mine on the floor, so if it was on a desk,
I am sure less would end up inside the computer. Since I now have a AMD
dual core, which runs hotter, I probably should get into the habit of
cleaning the sucker out on a regular basis.

What AMD dual core did you get? Just curious.

I clean my computers on a regular basis - I bought a little vacuum
cleaner
thingy deal a few years ago and it works great. And the difference
between
keeping a computer on the floor and the desk is amazing in terms of
dust and what not.
