Where to find....

ESD Bags. I found some places that sell stacks of 100 for 70$, but I just need one. Have a faulty motherboard to send back to PC chips(Finally) and I don't have the packing materials anymore. If someone could direct me to a place to get some anti-static foam and more importantly, a static bag, I would be much in your debt.

Also, I forgot. I'm gonna need to replace the thermal paste as I'm sure it will dry out by the time the new mother board gets here. What brand does everyone suggest?

 

I would check a local pc shop for the bag
we need to know what socket cpu you have, download Bel Arc Advisor and post results, it sounds like a 754 or 939 pin socket

 

you need a MB that has an AGP8x slot and ide slots for your hdds, I would also have to know what size MB your case can take, atx or micro-atx etc.

 

The MB isn't on my computer. It's getting replaced by PC chips under warranty. Here's what my invoice lists for the parts. The MB doesn't fill the whole case if you really wanted to know.
