Such a shock to your system could also introduce
intermittent failures or just plain weaknesses in 
the system that may not surface for some time.
They are hard to diagnose.  I would vote for 
replacing the whole system.  Whatever remains
just isn't trustworthy.  But now, if I had to shell
out the bucks for a new system, I might think 
about it some...
