Have you considered that it could also be a software problem ? I've found my A4000 rather trusty, even when turned on for huge amounts of time (almost weeks..). It could also be the 3640 (using a WarpEngine here).

" I think part of the problem might have been its Buster 9. Oh, and it was surface mounted :(."

So ? If you looked around here you'd probably find people with the right skills and equipment to replace it for a teener. I've recently sent my A4000 mobo to Castellen and besides changing a bunch of leaking capacitors he replaced the surface mounted Buster9 with a Buster11. Excellent job.
