Who wants to build me a new PC?

Looks like my HTPC is suffering the fate of many a recent system and getting exploding cap syndrome. It's still working but it's doing very odd things. I thought it was the VGA card to start with but removing that just makes the problem worse (system won't even boot), so onwards and upwards. Would have preferred replacing my main PC first mind. :/

I have a spec in mind, but I think it's going to be a little bit on the tricky side for me. I can do most things but CPU heatsinks are my problem area and custom cases doubly so.

So anyone going to a meet between now and chrimbo willing to take up the task? (parts and labour paid for, obviously, along with a lorra lorra grattitude chuck) The thought of requesting a quote from our very own Admiral had crossed my mind.

Thanks for reading.
