Can relate as I drooled over a Jensen system
with sub-woofer at Office Depot.
As it stands I just hang a cheap stereo off my sound card, both were
salvaged discards and both stereos work.

We've all done it.
Fried the NEC Pentium by not following advise I'd gotten here soon 
enough checking for thermal grease, then too a few years ago
fragged a Seagate 230 Meg. drive by putting an elbow into the 
monitor screen while handling the drive.
The moment I felt the static on my arm I knew
the drive was toast and plugging it back in confirmed the fact.
