The board's an Abit. Beautiful board - never seen one up close. I took it out, used nearly two cans of air duster blowing it out. I think that it will pull thru. Board, CPU and RAM made it in the clear. Said it was a 651 - so he's lucky there. Sent him home with everything neatly in boxes, with drenched items wrapped in paper towels. He said he was going to kill the cat. I said: "No! It's not the cat's fault. What was you CPU temp anyway?" "42C." Go figure. He'll fix it when he has the money. That video card looks mega-dollar. Don't leave your case open.

Wow sorry to hear that.
Sorry to say but as soon as I read "The cat pissed in it" I just laughed so hard..
Almost fell out my chair and landed on my drink, which probably would of flew over and somehow found itself through the holes in my computer case right onto the parts.
