Had a mobo failure on my Sugo and just looking at the options on whether it's worth springing for a new setup - primary concern at the moment is the CPU cooler. Just now I've got a Nitrogon NT06-lite passive cooler in there, don't want to go nuts though as I just use this machine for work, so looking at best bang for buck options (will buy used, budget around £100).
So, options are replace my mobo (abit fatal1ty f-i90hd) for £50 and keep e5120 CPU and NT06lite cooler.
Is it worth keeping the cooler and getting a faster s775 cpu (3.6ghz?)/mobo (not sure if the NT06lite fits anything else?), or just scrap the cooler too?
Again, not o/c or using advanced features, just want something stable (with HDMI too if possible).
