I Hate Motherboards....
 

So....last week I took apart my comp to mod the case a little bit and make a nice open hole for my Delta 80mm fan......
then I cut a few other holes for some other fans, blah blah....it was fun.

I go to put everything back together and I accidentaly put one of the grounding pegs for the mobo in a wrong hole.....so upon plugging in the psu, all the fans come on and something smells like its burning....
OUCH THERE WENT ALL 512MB OF PC2100 CRUCIAL RAM :mad:
so I tried reseating and rearranging in hopes only one stick crapped out, no luck.
So now I have my computer here doing absolutely nothing....anyone have any PC2100 or PC2700 they dont need? For a decent price.....

I know newegg has it, i know their prices are cheap....I dont have the money right now however so I need used prices :)


Im thinking of just saying goodbye to this comp though even though its an awesome setup....
I kinda want to go

Athlon XP2600+ 333FSB
Asus A7N8X
ThermalRight SLK-800U w/ Vantec Tornado 80mm
512MB PC3200 Crucial
128mb ATI or GF4
new case, mod it....500w+ psu....
Logitech Z-680
and....omg!....BROADBAND!

its so tempting....cuz by the time I can afford new ram, ill be able to afford a whole new computer....so i figure why not sell the old and make some of my money back....
MSI KT3 Ultra isnt exactly outdated, neither is an XP1800+, GF4 MX440 is good for some people.....
i could probably get almost $200 for that stuff, easily.

or i could just get a stick of 256mb pc2100 and let amber have it....*sigh*

I NEED RAM!

Leave PC mods to the A+ certified.

Ouch that really sucks. I usually have some extra RAM around, but I've given some away and I'm using the rest right now. If I happen across any more though, I'll let ya know.

oh yeah...the A+ guys are a real leet crowd. :rolleyes:
not the first mod ive done, but its the first accident ive had....

saweeeeeeet :D

Hold on, one part you say you have the 1600 next you say 2600 and so on so forth. What do you have?

i never said i had a 1600+ or a 2600+....
i said i want a 2600+ and that i have an 1800+.

i RMA'd and shipped my RAM back to newegg.......2 new sticks should be here by friday. :D
