I can see a group of us getting together to raise the money to buy you a new CPU.
If you were in Perth I'd GIVE you one :-)
(Good ones aren't stupidly expensive. Corner your tech-geek mates and they'll probably have a spare somewhere. They do tend to die)
Finally, if you can't find someone with a spare and want to save a few bob, rip it out of your computer, open it up, peel back the teeny stickers over the middle bit of the fans, pop open the rubber caps underneath, drop 2-3 drops of 3-1 oil (aka sewing machine oil) in. Put the cap back in, sticker back down, case back closed, PSU back inside the case, and you can probably wring another year out of it...
