Ah another one. One of my IRC friends had trouble with the motherboard
he got from ebuyer. Basically it ran his cpu and memory so fast they
melted. (Yes, he used the default autodetect paranoid bios settings) :/
We decided that either the mobo was either plain broken, flashed with a
broken/incorrect bios or possibly had some weird virus in the cmos. I'm
not sure what the outcome was but I think he was talking to his lawyer
about it.

Anyway, stay away from ebay/ebuyer! The only things I buy over the net
is shrink wrapped stuff. Eg CDs, DVDs, Games. Even then I buy from
reputable suppliers with a credit card (so I'm financially covered).
There's plenty of good advice on the net for this subject. Just use
Google. (Although disturbingly its UK-centric, or is my google toolbar
being clever?)
