    My current 6860 motherboard has failed me. the part that gives power to the fans wont work anymore so there for the fans are dead, I took out the fans and hooked them into another mobo and they worked fine. So I need another Mobo.

    Does anyone know where online I can order another Mobo instead of going to Gateway?

    Thanks guys!

    i would go to gateway/best buy (who ever you have warrenty with if you still have one) and get it looked at there first. It might just be a simple piece that can be fixed instead of a completely dead mother board.

    If the mobo is dead... i think gateway is your only choice. I havent seen too many 6860 motherboards floating around anywhere
