Oh dear what has happened to this thread, its all gone to sata and rubber glove love!!!
Anyway would you guys really be that keen just to abandon your PC's and start from scratch. I mean some of these a nice components, its all overclocked and everything. And whats more it works!! I am tempted to take hard disk e.t.c. out of it and putting them in my hand luggage and just putting the case into my suitcase!
That way I can get to J and just plug the thing in and be back to normal (well with a new monitor and some cables, and a new PSU ?). I don't wan't to get to japan only to spend my evenings in fiddling with jumper settings, and broken drivers and that cursed, cursed XP installer. Are you guys sure you would be so keen to discard all your hard work and throw the dice again? I don't know if the dangers of shipping the thing outweigh the dangers of starting from scratch. Also I'll get shafted if I sell it second hand, everyone knows that! Hell I might even give the thing my seat on the plane and get in the suitcase myself!!
I am exclaiming a lot!!!
