The New and Improved Less Blown Up computer is at home, waiting to be tested out. I finished putting all the guts back in last night after the messy motherboarderectomy. I was too bleary eyed to be trusted to check it over before powering up.
Foolishly, I did not pay close attention when I ordered the motherboard to the types of sockets and plugs that were included… I failed to get one with a 20 pin power supply style (hopelessly antiquated! After three years!) or a AGPx16 socket for the display. So, a new power supply (24+4) and display card (PCI Express) needed to be purchased.
So, if anyone has need of an AGPx16 compatible display card or a 450W 20 pin computer power supply, I can help you out.
So, tonight, after steakums gets back from her business meeting with her clients1, I shall shut my eyes tight and flip the power button.
May the deity of ones and zeros have mercy; I need my computer back.
