socket 939 motherboards?

I have a fried motherboard (gigabyte GA-k8nf-9) which uses socket 939.. but the processor is perfectly fine and Im just wanting to repair it by installing a new mobo with the old processor. Thing is...I cant find anything socket 939 online. Am I SOL and stuck buying a new processor and new motherboard, or can someone find me a socket 939 motherboard online so I can keep using this processor?

Well did you consider a new board/chip ram? Make sure you do the math to see how much more it would be and how much more fun it would be :)

What chip and ram do you have left over though?

It was an AMD processor of some sort, pretty fast for me. And I have a few gigs of ram. The easiest and cheapest way I think is to just replace the faulty part, the mobo. No ones been able to fix it.
