Fixing to go take it apart again to make a positive ID on the motherboard and processor, then google each of the options to work out the performance capabilities and interchangeability.

And then order the highest performance one a seller has that has been fully tested and has some kind of warranty - maybe an exchange if it's truly DOA.

If it can handle 32 gb of RAM then I'll do that upgrade too just in case the damage messed up the DIMM.

That’s a good plan.

Have pictures, ready to Google specs and then decide which one to click on "Buy it Now".

Good!

Ordered a motherboard, and if the other listing page will refresh, ordering a hundred of the tiny little screws that secure stuff in that computer and many others.

Also looking for some small anti-static zip-lock bags to finish organizing a whole bunch of tiny components, fasteners, and such.

You robs lay have those bags hidden somewhere.

I found some that were way, way too big, and still haven't found the smaller non-anti-static ones.

I just have regular bags.

I woke up to a huge roar just in time to have something jiggle my bed and toss me onto the floor. I think it was attracted to the coils in my boxsprings.
After a year of research I just learned my new neighbor's grown son has access to a lot of high tech equipment from his dad's job. I suspect his room is better stocked than many radio stations.

Or it was coming from deep underground, maybe around 3.5 on the Richter scale. Evidently we are now having warms of small quakes here that are too faint for most people to feel. They think these are shallow quakes caused by stresses in the crust caused by oil and gas extraction, and fracking getting into some faults and acting like a lubricant causing them to slip.

But if the vibration is at the right frequency, it will cause resonance and thus apparent amplification at the surface.

After all, the whole west Coast area is part of the Ring of Fire.
