Advice on converting my VMC

[Clive S]

I spend a couple of years here in Spain repairing PCs as a side job. Number one fault at least 50% in cases=faulty hard drive

cheap PC for garage =old pc= possible near future hard drive fault.

Boyan I have a house in Spain for the last 15 years and I know that the electric supply is crap (but is getting better very slowly) that means the electric can go off on a regular basis which is very bad for hard drives as you know. This just does not happen in the UK. I have had hard drives lasting more than 15 years.

You missed the pun about the Russians! I do think that your comments about the Chinese etc. are really not acceptable to me and probably others as well.

Cause they are more expensive than the boards could be found

I was suggesting you put links up for the more expensive ones with good support.

Now this is the Op's thread and we should not hijack it . My opinion is different to your's so I will leave it as is.
