So what Should I do?

Okay, I've got a P5LD2 in at ASUS tech shop because it wouldn't let me boot into windows and they say I've got bent pins. They're asking for 40 dollars to fix the motherboard. Do you think it's worth saving or should I just invest in another motherboard?

You just got lucky my man. I saw this deal over at anandtech just a couple of minutes ago.
