Is it me or does it seem some people just have the worst luck when it comes to computers? I mean, I've built 7 complete systems for people, as well as upgraded many systems, and I've NEVER had a card/board/hard drive/ram/processor die or fail, and except for one time, I've gotten systems to boot up perfectly after construction. Granted, I don't overclock a LOT, but I do stress components enough. And yet when I browse forums or read reviews at Newegg I see people RMAing a product 3 times. It just seems crazy to me. Are some people just so careless that they manage to kill stuff all the time?
 
Either that or they are just too stupid to take it slowly. 'He can do a gizillion gigahertz, so that must mean my 486cpu can too'
