So when I was in cali someone fried my computer and now it wont turn on. all signs point to wasted mobo so i need a new mobo and a new processor.

i need something thats atx form factor, i want an athlon 64 thats >= 2.0Ghz. I also want it as cheap as possible. the ram in the computer still looks good, i have ethernet, audio, video, everything as extra pci cards, so i need 5 or more pci slots, but i dont need onboard anything pretty much. i have a huge thermaltake fan/heat sink that looks like it still works and hope to use that again, but it isn't necessary. i also really want usb 2.0 so i can finally take full advantage of my ipod.

i also have 4 optical drives, i dont have to use them i really only use two regularly but if i could get it all up on a combination of ide and raid that would be muy excellente.

SO HOOK A BRUTHA UP WITH MOBO/PROC SUGGESTIONS.

Have you tried a replacement Powersupply?

Most of the time it is just a shit Powa supply.




And on the motherboard Anything DFI they are Pricy but OMG are they sweet boards.


I have the DFI lanparty Nforce 4 sli - dr

But if you do go with a DFI motherboard you will need a beefy powersupply. as they are fully ATX2.0 power complient 24 pin power for the motherboard. but OC options galore not for the faint of heart.
