well, I had put my wifes comp in the shop on Sat because it would not turn on, post, NOTHING would happen.

turns out the MOBO is shot.

I would really like to get it fixed, but the shop claims that it would be cheaper to just buy a new tower, mobo, processor, ram, etc etc etc yada, yada. (~$330.00USD) than it would be to get a new mobo (or even used one that would work)



does anyone know where I might be able to find just the mobo for her computer?


if i cant find one that might work, i will probably be forced to just anty up and pay the ~$330 for the new everything.

There trying to rip you off. Want are the specs?

You should be able to get a good M/B for around $140 

Yeah, that doesn't sound right. There's no reason that you should need a whole new system, just because the board is bad. In fact, I bet your components fit nicely right on to another board. You can even go cheaper than $140! Is it a performance machine? Or is it just a home pc thing? WHat socket and processor? AGP or PCI or PCIe? ddr2 or 3? Boards are WAY cheaper than whole new systems, and Fry's even has MoBo and Proc combos that rival prices for either individually. Check 'em out!
