*Please Lock. I realised that I'd have to re-install the OS if I got new hardware, so I'm off to get a 4th k7s5a.
--Someone in OT said I should post this here instead. Please let me know if this is not a good place to post my request and I'll delete it.--
Ok. Of all the times for my second computer to die, it just did. I desperately need to get a system up and running right now, so I need to figure out what I should get. I've lost 3 k7s5as in the past few months, so that's out. I'm inclined to switch back to Intel since I've had so many AMD systems die recently. However, I need to find a good deal in town so I can go get it right now.
Please post what you think would be a good but inexpensive combo for me, with a preferance to items that may be carried locally. I'm in Phoenix, so my options are CompUSA, Best Buy, Fry's, Office Max, and Staples.
Requirements:
1. STABLE
2. Must be able to pick up localy today
3. STABLE
4. Inexpensive
5. STABLE
6. I have a case, video, etc, so I just need a mobo, proc, and ram if I can't re-use my DDR 2100.
Thanks for any help. I am seriously DESPERATE!!!
To pre-answer a few questions:
I have tired several cases, including one new one.
I am not overclocking
