Worth saving motherboard?

[jubbajabba07]

Hey, I have a motherboard with CPU pins bent beyond repair. It's a Biostar TZ77B Overclocker, and it is a great motherboard. I've looked into getting the gold out but it seems long and not worth the profit. I already tried to RMA it to Newegg, but they denied it.

Unless you want to keep it for sentimental or decorative (frame it and put it on the wall!) reasons, and it is truly beyond repair, it's not worth keeping.

I assume you've tried fixing the pins? I'm sure there is someone out there that could, for a decently large fee, fix it with a soldering iron.
