My computer will be a phoenix.
10 years ago
After nearly 7 years of faithful service, the motherboard for my HP Pavilion p6140f, is about to die. The audio on the board burned out two years ago, leaving me having to use a crappy USB "sound drive". then the USB ports started failing one by one, until all I had was the one in the PCI port, which I bought a 24-port USB hub as a temporary solution. With all the things that have happened to it, its demise is inevitable.
However, all is not lost. I managed to get a Gigabyte GA-P43-ES3G motherboard, which will not only take the CPU, but also the Ram and pretty much everything else. Also a year ago, I saved up and purchased a Corsair Vengeance C70 computer case, and recently a power supply. This week, I will not likely be online in any strong capacity. One of the projects I will be working on will be construction of the "new" rig. Hopefully,everything will go well and the heart (or at least CPU) of the my old computer will live on.

just....be prepared if your os doesn't recognize it as your computer anymore. Did that to me when I replaced the MB on mine, but then again i also replaced the CPU, GPU, and ram sticks at the same time.
