Topic: Motherboard died. Options?

While I was in the middle of a print, my printer just shut down. It wouldn't turn back on, so I opened the motherboard bay and I saw a puff of white smoke come out... now I have no lights on it at all.

What are my options?

Is it worth it to replace it with something else?

Gut the components and build my own?

Set the whole thing on fire? (current favorite)
