    Saturday night I fried the ATX connector on my old dual machine, the trusty Tyan Tiger 2460 with a pair of 1900 MPs in it. I still have to run hardware tests on parts that were installed since sometimes the ATX failure takes out everything installed. If that's the case I'm not going to be happy. In the meantime does anyone have a dual CPU box that accepts 1900s? I need a testbed to see if those work before trying to find a replacement. Otherwise I may be selling off a lot of the hardware that was in that box.

    Here's a pic of the offending connector. Note the blackened pins on the right:

    I didn't really do anything to cause this. I ran well within Tyan's specs for the board and this only happens to OCers so it was pretty surprising that it happened to mine. I even run the fans off a controller and not off the board.

    Anyway, a list of items that need to be tested.
    550w Powmax PSU
    2x 512MB PC2100 ECC reg RAM
    2x Athlon MP 1900+ processors
    PNY GF4 4400

    There is also a nice Lian Li PC-60 variant case that I'd sell if I decide not to replace the board in addition to what is listed above. I'd trade it all for half off a pair of Xeon 3.06s (cash for the rest).
