Cracked motherboard, system fried.

Sell nephew=problem solved

Well, as long as all of the other parts are working fine then you should be able to afford it. :)

Are the nephew's parents going to help cover the cost, since it was their kid that broke it?

Well i hope the parents take some responsability for it, at least giving you some money to help pay for another motherboard would be nice.

If that's not the case, you can always kill the nephew and when they ask what happened you can always reply "oh well, i tried sitting on it :D"

Good luck with that!!!

thats why my tower stays near the floor

Was the PC switched on? Hard drives are more sensitive to impacts while running.

And PSUs arent that sensitive to falls. Have you tried powering it up separately from the rest of the system?

Oh, that sucks. I hope you do get some help getting a replacement.

my PSU went out a couple weeks ago 60 bucks replacement should last me awhile i feel ur pain lol

That sucks. Hopefully the parents are responsible and pay for the damages.

There is no way a motherboard would crack from a fall while properly attached inside of a tower. I could throw my case off of my apartment building and it would work I bet. Even if you had a Noctua D14 or Silver Arrow attached I find that highly unlikely.

Punch your baby nephew straight to the face. Strong enough to tilt the tyke's head back but not strong enough to make the nose bleed.

Wait until you are 70 years old, visit your nephew and throw his now-future-and-ultra-pimped-out PC down the table or window blaming it on you getting old and senile.
