Your best bet is to go to the Greater Cleveland PC Users Group; see details http://WWW.GCPCUG.Org/ While some smaller used computer shops might help you assemble & test, they are going to do so primarily so that they can see you replacements. All the large national chains (BestBuy, CircuitCity, CompUSA, MicroCenter, …) need to account for their labor and they charge for all their service labor, except for the few free installation specials they might have from time to time. You might consider a Power-On-Self-Test debug/diagnostic card like: $28 Soyo Computer Inc.
