I think it's a sign of the apocalypse. In the space of about 15 minutes, I not only smoked a video board (no, didn't toke it up... it literally started smouldering while installed in the machine. The fan bearing had failed on the cooler), not only crashed said XP box right in the middle of getting information i was looking for, but in a fit of excitement, I apparently broke the seat of my nice Size C Aeron chair.

Since this was basically an ebay special, warranties are out of the question. I've had the chair about 7 months now, and use it daily day in and day out. I guess I wasn't sitting on it properly or the like, but I'm not an -enormous- guy. I weigh about 270. The chair is a 'large' scale, it's built to carry large people.

Now to find out what repairs or replacement costs will be for parts. Yippee.
