A Mame machine in an antique buffet - USB probs solved (I think!)
drventure:
Now here's a funny one for you guys.
So, the insurance company basically wants proof that my systems either can't be repaired or can, and for how much.
Ok. So how do I do that, I asked.
"Just take em down to Best Buy and have the geek squad look over em"
Hmmm...
So, I'm off to Best Buy tomorrow with a machine that looks like this....
This should be interesting :)

custom = BestBuy Guess * 10
...@ minimum :D
Drop the dude a $20 for the required $$ you need.
Benevolance:
Hopefully they can get you set up with a new computer right quick. Would that include the speaker system, as well, or is this just the computer? And wouldn't that be lucky if the Geek Squad happened to be a BYOAC member?
GS: "Oh hey! The Arcadium! Sweet! So, here's a blank work order, fill out what you want and we'll sign off that it couldn't be repaired..."

If I worked for Geek Squad...well, first of all, I'd have to kill myself. But looking past that (even ignoring the fact that I've followed you here since last winter), I'd give you an awesome insurance quote on a sexy machine like that. And I'd make a house-call on my own time for the No. 18.
So sorry to hear about the incident, man. Hope the insurance thing works out for you. I had a nasty power surge recently myself; I think it came in through the cable and over the network (immediately went out and bought more surge protectors, making sure to get one with a coax port). Fortunately my PS3 and my main desktop survived. But I lost two other network cards, both of my wireless routers, and my color laser printer (also networked). I thought that was bad enough, then I read what happened to you. :cry:
Electricity is a harsh mistress.
Benevolance:
Don't know if you saw, but Rush is doing their latest tour totally steampunked. Here's some shots of Neil Peart's steampunk drum kit to cheer you up.
