So many of you may know that I reformatted/reinstalled everything on my computer last week due to virus corruption.
Well after a couple days running smoothly and getting everything back to normal, my computer randomly locked up. Upon restarting it would freeze while loading XP. I tried all the steps to remedy the situation and in the end discovered that my processor had finally died.

So what does this mean?

I do have my old desktop computer which I had some parts for but discovered it needed a new motherboard. I just bought a new motherboard for it this morning ($20 ftw) and once I can get that up and running, we'll see if it will run MxO. If it cannot, I will see if I can scrounge up some parts from friends and a handy computer store I know locally that sells off two year old dells for cheap.

But just to let you guys know, I will be out of commission for 1-2 weeks while I put the pieces back together.

On the plus side, between my desktop and laptop I have lots of parts to sell on ebay :-p

I had an ABS Mayhem G3 aka the Uniwill 258KA0 with an AMD 3700+ Athlon 64

I asked because I have an extra AMD 3800+ lying around. If your MB is still good it would be a perfect match. I also have my old MB, it's a biostar TForce4U. I'd be willing to practically give it away. Make me an offer if you like, it will probably be accepted.

I have a Dell GX280 MB and Processor with memory (1 or 2Gigs have to go and look) that was given to me. You are more than welcome to it just postage is required.
