So, the computer's fixed.

In a sort of 6 million dollar man way. The motherboard was replaced, and [livejournal.com profile] drewtiggy had a spare video card he wasn't using that was added. [livejournal.com profile] drewtiggy wins one internet for his awesome computer rehabilitation skills. There's still some driver work and reinstalling to go through, but all the important data came through just fine, and the computer is better than ever.

I got to thoroughly examine the old motherboard and grill [livejournal.com profile] drewtiggy and [livejournal.com profile] anher on what all the bits were. Circuitboards are fascinating.
