    Sounds like a good idea. There are plenty of opportunities to grab something suitable, if you just keep your eyes open for it. Our recycling yard has a container full of motherboards and other PCBs for example. The BIOS is a bit limited in terms of available settings, but it still is a decent...

    If you need specific files, DM me and I'll look through my archives. The USB3 Connector is the easiest to fix, the traces will be more difficult but are still doable if you have at least some experience with it. I don't have a macro of the socket backside at hand, but could take one if you...

    Don't worry, I got you! Let me just grab some trash from my stash real quick... there we go: One set of Flare to tie that mess of GTX and Copperhead revisions together. Nailed it? :laugh:
