    Close call really to me.? He'll need to spend £30-40 on fuel there and back to wales with no guarantee something won't be dead anyway. He'll still have drives that only Half step and a rats nest of out of date and obsolete components that could give up the ghost at any time with little to no chance of replacements.

    Sometimes it's best to just cut your loses and start a fresh with decent and easily replaceable gear and £150 isn't out the way to me. Plus it will be added to the value of the machine by the very fact it's upto date with modern drives.

    Looking at the rest of the machine which looks half decent then If it was me I'd still rip the lot out even thou I could probably get it working just for the very fact it will perform so much better and makes it much easier and more selling point when the time comes.
