Thanks for the encouragement, picked up the parts yesterday after finally convincing myself I could do it. It took four hours and about 8-16 try's installing and uninstalling the motherboard to route wires but all the equipment was installed. I was afraid to turn on the computer at first and finally flicked the power button...No power, no nothing....Then I turned on the PSU and all the equipment came back up.
Now I just have to repair Vista and the little monster should really be alive and kicking![]()
