In addition to that, the wireless network card uses 90+% of the CPU if I turn it on (now I use a 100ft cable instead to reach my router), and the system always powers up with 3 or 4 other hardware items disabled no matter how hard I try to keep them enabled.

Acer.. think dfrin't
It could of been a bad one. I have three acer laptops and one is over 3 yrs old and runs flawlessly. They do have the worse customer support on the planet I would give apple that, the times I called they were very helpful. But for the price of a mac I can buy two acers.
