Spare motherboards? Well, no. Though I do have an entire spare PC, scooby drew's got it. (posting at my brother's, sign of an addict, I need to get up in 4 and a half hours)
But got a nice modern board to replace my old steam-powered one, and a nicer case too, oh, and a faster hard drive. So basically, the same keyboard.
Think the oldest bit in my PC is the floppy drive, though no idea if it still works.
One day I'll update it.

I modded my floppy drive with a blue led but I've never used it (apart from when I built the pc) so don't even know what it looks like!!
It's getting old now, though it still performs extremely well!
That's a silly thing to do !!! They think I am dizzy ;)No, youre Shelly, Dizzy is someone else, unless you are dizzy, then that would not make you Shelly or the woozle and someone entirly different...if you see what i mean :):cyclops:

Northwind has even managed to crash his PC after modding it!!!! Sounds about right!

Hurrah, new PC practically works. Nice and quiet too. No more cold turkey for me...
Practically works? What does that mean, it boots up but you can't see anything?
welcome back to the 21st century.. how was Reading????

Very good thanks! Good bands, and we were camped on the outside, furthest from the mentals. Not counting the security guards that is.
sounds great I had to turn down the follow spot job on the D as I was only just flying back into the uk.... this seems to be a current trend at the moment that I just miss all the good gigs :(

They were incredibly bad, no amount of follow spotting could have saved them ;)
