You stupid sod!! You not keep any spares??

Have fun reinstalling windows!

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!
