    I'll have to check my supply of old PC parts. I actually think I have my old 775 HSF, with the thermal paste they put on at the factory still on it (I bought an aftermarket, it's never been used).

    If your mobo is still kicking and you want to keep it, I might have a P4 3.0Ghz CPU to send your way. Two maybe, just in case. I got 3 for free awhile back, I need to check if it's the same slot though. I might have a PCI card as well. I'll take a look and let you know, they'd be free if you could cover shipping or something equivalent.

    If they're 3.0 exactly, check the bus/socket. The 3.0 is 800FSB, Socket 775. My board is socket 478 and only supports 400/533 bus. Not that I couldn't still put it to use, eventually, but you may be better off just selling it somewhere else.

    Well, I got two 512MB sticks of Corsair 533 MHz DDR2. I thought he had more, but that's all I can scrounge.

    So I'll fire off the CPU, video card and RAM, let me know in here if you want the CPU heatsink too.

    Guess what I got back yesterday?

    Fucking useless postal service. So much for Christmas, you pack of dogs.

    So I fired 'em off again, registered-post airmail style. If they don't get to you this time, the Australian Federal Police will hunt down the postie responsible and eviscerate him.

    You can punch this ==> RQ025007044AU into this to see where it's at.
