If you have a friendly computer shop, they might have a similar motherboard that you can test your RAM and CPU in, if they are still working fine you should easily be able to pick up a new mobo and PSU for under £250.

If your main concern is to just get it up and running again, try and get an exact replacement motherboard (if that is the faulty component).
Cool then. I'll go ahead and get a power supply to see if is all that went wrong. If there's more then I'll just get another bare bones system. I'm really hoping SME is tolerant of the change though. I don't want to lose my info.

kieran23kk, did it ever occure to you that it might have been a typo and that a lesson (and major thread derailment) isn't needed when you have nothing else to add to the OP's question or content? I'm not offended, but I do think you're taking it a little to far.
