A while back, some storms took out one of my motherboards. The storms actually took out all three, but I already have two of them back up and running. I salvaged the processor & RAM. I ordered a replacement motherboard, a refurbished AsRock K7VT4A, that would fit my AMD 1.4 GHz processor (it was $20) That came in, but it didn't work. It wouldn't allow me to set the bus speed properly, get into the BIOS and wouldn't see the RAM at all. I sent it back and they sent an identical replacement. I installed the proc, RAM, vid card, and hooked up a spare ATX power supply I have just to see if it would boot up. This one works like a charm, so far. I need to wait on my AlphaPal 8055FU heat sink and fan and I'll be back to my three desktops. (approx two weeks because it has to come from China) When I get some extra $$$, I'm going to start work on a newer, updated model.
