Motherboard died, finding replacement...

    So my little cousin's motherboard died in his computer (ASRock ZH77 Pro3, Sockel 1155, ATX) and he's planning on sending it back to HWVS since it was only purchased 5 months ago, however, since it was Christmas and he got some new games and such going a couple of weeks waiting on a replacement will be tough.

    So I was wondering if anyone knew a place around Kildare/Dublin that sells these boards or other boards compatible with an i5 3570 and corsair vengeance ram and a gtx760 where he could buy one to get his computer up and running ASAP.

    And then another side question is, if he goes and buys a replacement motherboard would hardwareversand give store credit or a refund or something for the board that he'll be sending back.

    Thanks for taking the time to read.

    Might be easier picking up a 2nd hand m.board on adverts.ie for <€100, and selling it on when he gets a replacement/refund. Not sure if hardwareversand will give a straight replacement or a refund-most stores offer an exact replacement or as near as if its an older model, though I RMA'ed a m.board to Komplett and they had no problem giving me credit towards a different make board instead.

    The retailer is entitled to offer repair/replacement if they so choose rather than a refund, but if you were to request credit it might be something they are willing to do.

    Worst case you could always sell on adverts I suppose.

    Yeah that was the back-up plan in-case they didn't give credit or a refund etc, to just sell it on adverts.

    Yeah I've been keeping an eye out on adverts for one but haven't seen anything <100 to suit.
