thats cool, justin. we had a friend who built a '69 amc javilin. factory big block / stick car, he dumped in a BB chevy and an auto, kept all the old stuff... it was a 11 second car, & mostly stock.... he made it all amc again and sold it, got a '65 nova w/ glass tilt nose, lexan windows, glass doors & trunklid, ect, ect.... a full out drag car, which got the bbc / auto from the javilin.... i know he ran 8 seconds as his slowist run.....

i have to ask, is the black nova street legal?

Mac's don't crash, because all the internals are proprietary, they don't have the driver issues that PC's have... ( #1 killer of a PC is the drivers, if they get mucked up, the windows looses it's frigging mind)

Sounds like your PC need's a reformat... if you don't mind shipping it off, i can fix this in about 45 minutes (just ship the tower).

i would need to know a little about it, like what version of windows is on it, and the model number (so i can get the drivers)...

i wouldn't charge for this, you just pay shipping both ways... if you don't trust me, i completely understand and will not take any offense, i was just throwing the offer out there...i do this for ALL my family and friends, so why not my MCF family. (i have been an I.T system administrator for the last 15 years)

I've also built my last 5 PC's.
