I'm constantly waffling back and forth -- which is better? Should I buy cheap generic computer parts, since I'm going to upgrade them within a year anyways (which is around the time cheapo parts break anyways), or do I spend money on quality equipment to avoid headaches caused by quirky hardware? My cheapo "all-on-the-motherboard" motherboard, with a MII-333 processor, prior to the motherboard crash seems slower than the Pentium 166 and Intel-brand motherboard that I fished out of the garbage behind an office building, which I installed until I can buy a new PC100-spec motherboard. I haven't had a single crash yet, no hardware incompatibilities, but Intel motherboards are expensive. Should I buy another $60 on a motherboard which will last me 10 months, or do I spend $150 for a quality motherboard and try to make it last?
