My Mobo took a SH**!!

[drip50291]

seriously, theres a turd in my tower... Need a new mobo to replace my X38. would like an X48 but i prefer anything with an LGA 775 thats not gonna have less than my current mobo which is a DFI LanParty X38 T2R. My power supply sat in some water when my basement flooded... gamers dream, NOT!!!!! Installed a new PSU and lights came on everywhere but got defected error codes on my mobo. If anyone knows any tricks to reflash my bios or do something where i dont have to upgrade to DDR3 and iX cores, plz help a brotha out. Much appreciated guys!!

Computer geeks has an asus refurbished P5N-D sli board for around $50 that should tide you over. But I would switch to ddr3 today and sell off your old ddr2 which is more valuable. Newegg has 2x2gb of PNY 1600 ddr3 for $18.25 today after rebate and promo code. It's a steal. And your ram may have also been damaged by the water, as well as the cpu.

do you think my card is ok? the fan was running. and the water never touched anything but the psu but i would be surprised if it fried everything else. I spec'd out new parts and this is what i came up with
