    But couldn’t you plug the screen and peripherals into the laptop to get 90% of the functionality of the desktop?

      Technically, yes, but without the remaining 10%, I don’t want to sit in a scorching hot room at all. I think that was the worst part of it all. A broken mobo sucks, but 35C / 95F and humid air in a small room on the southern side of the house made me extremely irritable. It’ll cool down significantly on Thursday, though. I’m really excited about that.

        That is fair.

        That sounds like hell, I would probably live in the basement if things ever got that hot here.

          It is hell, and that’s why I did exactly what you would do, at least for a couple of days. Our basement has massive walls that keep the heat out. It was a real blessing this week. Learning Swedish and moving there has never been this tempting.
