That's right, I trashed my system. I was repairing my XP install and all heated up. Since I got a new vid card, I did not install the water block on it, it was just laying at the bottom of the case. I decided to take that water block out as to eliminate that run so more water would be pumped the the CPU. I apparently got water on the mobo when I broke the line to take it out (I thought I had it all covered ). Anyway, it burned out the mobo. So..... I ended up with this:




Link to specs

and an AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3200+

So, now specs are:

Athlon 64 3200+
MSI K8N Neo4-F Nforce 4 mobo
1 gig DDR400 dual channel ram
ATI X1300 PCI-E vid card
and the rest of the guts (hard drives, cd's erc)
