I'm just finishing off putting a PC together for a friend, and have been using it to stress test it. What I'd like is an automated stress testing tool, not one that tries to break it, but tests that things that should be do-able, are, without having to manually check the serial ports, parallel ports, video ports, that the CPU can do all its math and get the answers right, etc. There's memtest86+ (though I've heard some detractors say it can give false results), but I haven't heard of anything to test other parts of the system. -- (Currently testing FC5, but still running FC4, if that's important.)
