well Long story short, My computer was hit with lightning about a few weeks ago and It blew half the motherboard (Ethernet port and the USB ports) and the powersupply. I could still use it but to limited capacity (obviously) and well it finally croaked last night. so I am Ordering:
Epox EP-8RDA Motherboard
AMD 2500+ XP CPU
Coolmaster HAC-V81
Arctic Silver 3 thermal Compound
400w PowerSupply (my old one is only 300w
)
Its cool that I finally get to upgrade but damn I could of done without the death of the old MOBO and/or CPU....
(not to mention I've got a lot of work to do and with Overnight shipping it still wont get here untill monday...
I never thought I'd say it but I hate fridays....
