My computer remains hosed. I eliminated memory as a possibility, which means it's either the processor or the logic board. Both would suck.

But that also means no checking of email, and little checking of LJ this weekend (only when I have a moment or two at shadesong's computer). Followed by a week of being down in Florida, where I'll probably not check either one at all. So if you're expecting email from me, expect it around a week from Monday. And if you post something critical in your LJ, I'm not ignoring you -- I'm just unaware of it.

We're dealing with trip prep today and tomorrow (and yes, we've got house and pet-sitters lined up, thankfully!), including cleaning, laundry, etc.

Oh, and our Westfield order arrived the other day. The latest issue of Nodwick is the funniest one yet. And if you're not reading Amelia Rules, you're missing my absolute favorite comic. Buy it! Now!

Anyway, back to cleaning.

hitechcafe.com, compgeeks.com, accessmicro.com, and mwave.com are the cheapest surplus/used/new parts suppliers I've come across. They've probably got a motherboard equivalent to the one you have now very inexpensively.

There's also a local shop, you'll have to ask chelona for the name, but their prices were better than excellent.. they beat the web prices on new equipment.

But I've got standards for my OSs -- Mac only. Which means my hardware choices are more limited (although I do have some contacts).m

Ah, I may have a contact for you then... though I've been getting a lot of my mac parts off of ebay.
