If it's just the mom board, why not replace it, assuming the rest of the computer isn't too ancient. I bet the same shop where it's in for repair could do it.
My computer is in the same case I bought about 15 years ago and has seen 3 - 4 motherboards. The only issue is that my DVD drives are still IDE, while the motherboard is SATA, so I had to buy an IDE interface for it.
I haven't had any luck in finding motherboards that would take the old CPU, RAM, and so on, but your story is inspirational. The case is a CoolerMaster with lots of space in it, and it would be nice to be able to keep it. -- Peter King peter.king@utoronto.ca Department of Philosophy 170 St. George Street #521 The University of Toronto (416)-946-3170 ofc Toronto, ON M5R 2M8 CANADA http://individual.utoronto.ca/pking/ ========================================================================= GPG keyID 0x7587EC42 (2B14 A355 46BC 2A16 D0BC 36F5 1FE6 D32A 7587 EC42) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 7587EC42
