Looking for one of these motherboards - mine just blew, and I don't want to have to reinstall everything and start changing my hardware to the latest - anyone got one of these lying around I could buy - new or used?

The only other opton I may have is to break up my other components, sell them off, then purchase a new platform...
 
Hi JUGGY - didn't think of that - just pulled out the invoice, and it was bought on 6th May 2005 - well within the 3 year period - do you know who I would need to contact for a repair or replacement? Was originally purchased through Digital Planet (when I was still wet behind the ears) but think that they get their Gigabyte supplies from Rectron?
Who in SA is responsible for the Gigabyte mobo Warranty?

Yeah, rectron is the place. If only you were in CT I'd would've been happy to help as I have dealership with them.

Maybe one of the other guys could help in Jozi?

Maybe you could simply walk in with the board and quote my company name stating that you bought the system through me and moved to Jozi. They manage warranty's through the serial number on the board anyway. They normally take 3 or 4 days to test and work out a replacement.

I recently had the exact board replaced under warranty after 2 years so it will work for you too.

Many thanks for the advice JUGGY - will pop into Rectron JHB Monday - got a contact around the corner so they can help locally in JHB.

Cheers!
 
Managed to get it swapped out at Rectron within 8 minutes - back in business!
Many thanks for your help chaps...
