Default Well Decision time
as we all know, due to my n0obidity i fried my Mobo last night and i spoke with the tech gave them pictures of the damage RAM slot, and they said RMA is not looking good, coz the damage was caused by external environment and its an exclusion with the warranty, but non the less, they entertained me early 12nnEST 9amPST, and i have to wait a lil while until a decision is made regarding my RMA...

Ok here is the deal, i got a $180 budget, and want to replace my Mobo as soon as possible coz i don't want to be without any computer in the house.
my finance, schedule, study, and communication to my friends and family back home at Philippines and North Carolina relay on Video and Voice Chat, everything revolve with my computer...

after browsing at Newegg.com i came up and can't decide which one to buy.
i arrange the Mobo to my Liking... from highest to least like

100% the eVGA 680i motherboard.

If you wanna go for an Intel chipset, then grab the Gigabyte GA-P35=DS3R.

Physical damage = low chances of RMA.
Sorry for you.




If there is a final hour, let's hope for a higher power. One by one, and two by two, I have ammo, what about you?
