Well, I just got a new desktop.
I tried to close the screen, but instead the two plastic pieces around the screen snapped apart because the screen was going down, but the hinge wasn't. Where the hinge connects to the frame that surrounds the screen was apparently just thin aluminum, (top left of the image) which is really stupid because the hinges actually take a fair amount of force to close. Of course, it's past the warranty I already voided by opening it up to change the hard drive...
I figured I'd hook it up to my TV before I do anything else, but for whatever reason, it cuts off the edges. (Like, almost the entire Start bar.) It's not the TV either; I can zoom out on the TV but then it just displays black borders. I opened up AMD Radeon settings and it has an option to change the screen size, but upon changing it at all, everything gets jerkier; I guess it's rendering it at full resolution and then scalling it, but I don't think a $550 quad core computer should have an issue with that...
