HELP! Recommendation on Barebones

I've just blown up two desktops in a row...can't even upgrade flash bios. I'm thinking of getting a barebone kit. (I don't feel like shelling out major bucks and wasting otherwise functional parts, and I don't feel like building one up from scratch either.) Tigerdirect.com seems to have some interesting combos, but does the vendor back them up? The site says that warranties are provided by the manufacturers of the individual items. I am hoping that I won't have to go through a headache in case something is defective to begin with or the parts don't work in synergy or something. Feedbacks would be appreciated. :)
 
Tigerdirect is pretty shady as a supplier. If they say they don't warrant the item, then they don't warrant the item.

Were you looking to buy a SFF barebone or something? The Shuttle SN25P seems to be popular. What parts do you have?
 
Thank you for your reply, sleepeeg3. I have a bunch of RAMs, hard drive, dvd player, cd-rw, floppies and a few legacy processors, but I'm not thinking of re-using those processors. Shuttle SN25P seems a little too small to put in a lot of accessories. Am I in a wrong forum? :confused:
 
Not unless you are NOT looking for a Small Form Factor barebones.
