I have used lots of ATi cards. NONE has failed me. Even my first ATi, the 3D Rage II+DVD still works.

I have had couple NVIDIA cards fail on me. like one 8800GTX had dying PWM that caused lots of funky heat problems lol.

ALL manufacturers have DOA stuff... better be prepared just in case if the one you get might be DOA. just bad luck...
Same. I've always had ATI but never had one fail. My second pc/server thing has a Radeon 9550 (I think) that still runs great. My mom's computer has a Radeon 9600 Pro that runs great. I just sold my old X800 GTO a few months ago that worked great, and also sold my X1950XT that worked great. And of course my 4850 hasn't given me a single problem.

I've also had three rigs with AMD processors, as is my mom's and my dad's and his previous few rigs. Never had any problems with any AMD chips/boards either.

I've had ATI, nvidia, intel, amd, samsung, WD, seagate, maxtor, asus, gigabyte, kingston and many others fail on me. Time to get a TI-84 plus?
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

Why not take out some of the things you need from here? Take out that GTX280, and buy a second one for SLi. The HDDs and PSU could be used as well.
Sell the rest of it, and you've suddenly got more cash to play with.
