Awwwwww sheit, I know how it feels when my z77 sabertooth went downhill faster than me eating cookies  

Just because I forgot, here's the "short" list of shit that doesn't work/work right.

 

mostly dead ram slot
dying PCIe x16 slot (sometimes doesn't recognize my graphics card)
dying NIC (pops in and out of device manager)
dying power delivery (sometimes it shuts off for lack of power to CPU)
one dead and one dying front USB header
dying SATA ports (2 of the 4 kinda work)
dead IDE port (completely doesn't work)

That is very shitty. Maybe look around for hard rubbish to acquire a "New" motherboard, at least it isn't the graphics card.

I've actually had a 775 board (as well as dual P3 board + CPUs, and some goodies to go with it) lined up since last August, but I haven't been able to get the amount of money I need to get the stuff shipped. Apparently my mom will spend hundreds on my sister but not 20 bucks on me.

It is not fun not having enough money to finish your build especially since you have all the parts.

It is bad enough having to wait a couple of days to test someone that is at my dad's house or when you are waiting for something that is being shipped to arrive.
