things just arent going my way

Well, I just got back to school and things have not been in myfavor. Nothin major, just simple things that are irritating.
Yesterday i was testing out my levels in the theater and had them pretty much set. I put in a few movies to further tune to my taste. I noticed it was a little hot on the bass end in a few movies. I went to put in U-571 to the depth charge scene and it instantly told me it was too high. A terrible flutter started and then i instantly turned it down. I then went on to another movie and where I was expecting bass, there was nothing. i went to pull the xmax out and heard something bad, a metal somethng was lose in there. I was pleased to find that it was just the connections. The little black piece that holds the connections had been blown in half. I epoxied it back together, and it has been drying. Any one know where I could find some more of these pieces (*cough* Errin *cough*)? Or am I just better off making some on my own?
Then today I was doing some homework on the computer when the monitro went into power save mode. I couldnt get it out and then started checking connections. Finally I looked at the card itself and the damn fan was dangling out of its heat sink. The fan burned up and melted the glue that held it in place. Then it fried the card. So now I have to spend more money that I dont have on a card. I am looking at a either the 7600GS or the X1600Pro. Both are similar in price. Any opinions?
