NOTE: this is a long story but hang in there, I tried to make it a little entertaining too. And I could use some advice on the puzzling thing that happened to PC#4 as I thought I had seen it all and that one is new to me.
I am telling it as a story because I am stumped and I dont know what is relevant anymore.

The story starts quite innocently...
We're a 2 person household here, spread between 2 houses which are quite far away. Which means that shuffling PCs and screens around got old real quick.
So the solution was to buy enough bits to do a new computer, so we would have 4, 2 in each location.
While I was at it I bought new cases for all of them, cause the old cases all had started having broken doors or usb ports and all. Besides the Antec Solo is a great case with nice soundproofing at a great price and once one of the PCs had it all the others had to have it too.
Sounds harmless so far, right? PC1 and 2 are alive and singing.
-- sounds of birds singing and all --
Of course it got worse when we did the others, which were for the most part just moving the old stuff to a new case
-- ominous music --
