Play swapsies with me?

[denny]

I'd like to swap out all the bits and bobs from my PC into a known-working one, one at a time, to make sure it is the motherboard that's fried before I buy a replacement. If you've got a PC you're willing to either bring round my place (lift available in London area), or I can bring mine to yours, and then we can play with screwdrivers for a while, I'd really really appreciate it. Usual bribes of takeaway food etc offered :)

For reference, I think my machine is composed of the following bits: AMD64 3800+ (ASUS A8NE-FM motherboard), 2 x 512MB DDR400 RAM, 200GB SATA HDD, nVidia GeForce 6600 (PCI-E) and GeForce MX4000 (PCI).

Ideally I'd like to play swapsies with everything including the CPU, which would require a socket 754 motherboard in the destination machine, but everything else should go into a variety of modern machines afaik.

I'd offer mine, but it has issues with booting ATM. These can be overcome by use of the Windoze install CD. It also has the "advantage" of a knackered case that won't close properly.
adelpha, OTOH, has just built himself a new one and is getting ready to give me the old one - I'll point him at this post if you like?

Have IM'd him.

This icon was (almost) the result of drunken inspiration - I was watching "Galaxy Quest" while thinking about "Little Britain", and it just seemed so wrong that I had to do it. (And yet, still not as wrong as the special Jadis one...)
