Hi all, apparently I've already signed up to this website but I can't remember doing it lol, must have been the last time I had a custom build back in 2006 (I've been poor).
The problem:
Almost 3 weeks ago my house was hit by lightning, and although there was no structural damage, most high end electronics bit the bullet. Flatscreens, games consoles and of course my beloved PC. The insurance has finally pulled their fingers out and given me a spec sheet of the PC they intend to replace mine with. And while most parts are satisfactory (seeing as my last computer, although still going strong was built in Nov 2006) I have no idea if they are any good by today's standard (Again, 6 years since I bothered keeping up to date on the tech).
First and foremost is the Motherboard. It's an ASUS MSA97 and I can't find a spec sheet on it anywhere, despite google coming back with results of people owning them. What I'm looking for in particular is the on-board sound chip. As my old was was a 7.1 and they'll be shipping me a brand new 7.1 speaker set as the old one was also fried by the hand of god, I have no idea whether the this new MoBo will be 5.1 or 7.1 or whatever.
If you could also take a minute to look over the full list of parts and let me know if anything is poor or non-compatible that would be terrific. I need to let them know what changes if any need to be made to the rig before they ship it out to me.
Thanks to all who bothered to read this far!
