    This does not need to be moved.Just a rant.

    For the last 6 hours i have been messing around with my desktop.I had a spare motherboard laying around.Could not get the motherboard to turn on.For some reason it stopped working after.Adjusting video card and cleaning fans.

    So after about 3 hours of messing around i got tired of trying to get the motherboard to turn on.And just switched out the same motherboard.I bought two of them.

    I spent about an hour cleaning it and managing the cables.

    Such a pain.

    The good ole days when cases didn't have windows cable management was a lot easier, you just closed the case.

    I know your pain as been though many of them, while the HDD and Windows install is great it does not really work when you attach a new MB. Need to fix this in plug n play type.
    Last time I had a MB failure, in the end I just as I had for 15yrs built my own PCs, bring myself to do it again so got a bespoke local PC company to build my spec, really never go back again with hassle of building. This PC is fantastic, I did add my extra SSD/HDD storage drives but epic and quiet/

    This is inside of current build, but add a few SSDs to the drive bays that are empty that are not now.

    actually does look as if I took pic after adding the multiple storage drives.

    Long time since I built them, too -I used to enjoy it-One I built, and sold had transparent case, and coloured cables,with XP- and all the gubbings I could at the time I made a great friend of the chap who purchased it, and he had it for many years-I upgraded it to Windows 7, from xP-I upgraded it after about 6 years ,and he still has it working-I installed an Oracle virtual machine so that he could use Xp for his old games
    I have not the room at presentwhere I live to have a desktop, so have to manage with my Lenova G70-70, core i7, 16gb ram,and to b honest , I miss it, but with a 17.25" screen, I manage....
