As of typing though, I am back on my PC! Very, very luckily, the computer store I usually shop at for brand new parts JUST SO HAPPENED to have the motherboard I ordered in stock.

Ordered at 4 PM, went to pick up my new motherboard at 6 PM.

Cue 2 hours of me and my roommate absolutely raging and losing our minds over:
- the I/O shield not allowing us to install the motherboard into the case (ended up without one)
- raging at the front panel connectors (ended up just hooking up the buttons)

The only thing that broke during this entire thing was my case fans...which I don't give too much of a shit about, luckily. I'm exhausted and I'm tired.

But most importantly - I'M HAPPY TO HAVE MY PC BACK AGAIN, YAY.

And the best part about this whole thing was the fact that my Linux install just did not give a single shit that I am on a new motherboard. Booted up and acted like nothing had ever happened.

It just WORKS like it always has.
