Where can I buy an old (2003) motherboard?

    My MSI KT6 motherboard is acting crazy since it got hit by lightning, and I want to find a replacement.

    There's not much on eBay.

    Does anyone know any good forums/classifieds sites where people sell old computer bits?

    Why buy a direct replacement? it will cost you less to get a compatible motherboard off ebay or possibly a motherboard+cpu+ram bundle

    Keep in mind I also have an Atari 1040STE :D
    I'm not exactly one to give up on my old computers.

    Thanks, but I'm not after just any old crappy Socket A/478 integrated motherboard.

    Pick one up from the dump and sell it to me. I'll pay you $100 USD.

    The link you posted has nothing to do with the board I'm after.
    Comtrader is a dead source. Been there, done that.

    I'm in Melbourne, Australia.

    If you can find me an LSR or an FISR in AU for a decent price, I'll give you a finders fee :D

    YOU can't believe I can't find one! Neither can I! :)

    The MSI Delta series are fkn awesome old school boards. I've got posts up all over the frickn internet, and nobody in AU has one for sale. I guess everyone is holding onto them.

    I believe this site may have it http://tipidpc.com but it's for the Philippines but you might convince the seller to ship it.
