Play swapsies with me?
Aug. 22nd, 2006 01:41 pmI'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 have a fantastic message on my mobile answerphone from Dave offering PC help, where he fails to hang up the phone after saying 'bye' and wanders around the house with it in his pocket, yelling "Argh! Fuck ye!" and generally being entertaining.
