I have in my possession a DFI 680i motherboard that is not working. I called DFI and they said for $42 they would replace the motherboard.
Now I would still need a CPU, PSU, and GPU's but is the $42 worth it for a 3 PCIE slot motherboard?
My plan will be to actually get a refurb coolermaster PSU and stick it in my rig and use the 380W PSU for the folder.
Now for the CPU I would probably grab an E1200 or Pentium D if I can find one, along with 2 8800GS's for the time being.
So it would be right around $250 for a 8500PPD folder with the possibility of adding another 8800GS, what are the folding bigwigs opinion?
