Nice, I just bought myself a 8800 GT today. Can't wait to load up that bad boy!

when i put this beast together.. im planning on using the same hard drive..... will i be able to slap it in and have it work.. or will i have to reload windows on it

If you replaced the mobo, I think you do. I remember having to reformat Windows when I replaced mine awhile back.

And I got my 8800 GT this morning. 1 day shipping from BC! NCIX rocks!

hrm.. that kinda bites.. was hoping to keep all the crap i already have on it.. or does that just mean i have to do one of the random window installs that you do to replace stolen files.. and you still get to keep all your stuff.. format.. reformat ir unsure.. and i got all my stuff this morning at 9:30.. ordered yesterday at noon... gotta love tigerdirect/ups...... fedex on the other hand.. paid for 2 day shipping for my phone.. got it in 5 days

if you slap it in it will load up. but you will ahve 3 days to re activate it with M$

now that i think about it.. i remember switching my old mobo out for a newer one after i broke it... i had to reinstall windows and lost most of my stuff.. i guess ill just have to steal this external hard drive from work and transfer my more important stuff to it.. and then transfer back
