spoon man. balls about that cpu. if i were in your situation i wouldn't be able to live without a working pc at home. i'd go down to the local pc store and buy the cheapest CPU i could that would fit.

at home i have a total of 6 (mine, brothers, dads, ghetto computer (remember that? still going strong!), and my parents'  work laptops) usable computers so if ever mine breaks i always have another i  can use. this is annoying for the rest of my family as my computer seems to break on a daily basis. usually because i changed some setting i wasn't meant to.

so far though i haven't had a single hardware failure except a fan that seized. luckily speedfan noticed something was wrong and alerted me before anything went bang.
