I paid the cracky $400. I looked inside before I bought it and saw the 2 7900GTX cards and new I was getting a deal. Even if the mobo ends up worthless, I can use the rest to build from.
I have the MCE disc that Dell includes in the box, that's all. No other software software except Roxio and some other junk. If I had the mobo disc, I would have just formatted this shit a long time ago and started with a blank drive.
I have the MCE up and almost fully working. The only thing I can find that doesn't work as it should, is the actual Media Center itself. When I click on the Media Center icon on the desktop, I get an error message stating:
Your video card drivers are not compatible with media center.
Yet, I can enter the Media Center via the Start Menu just fine.
Maybe now I can put partition Magic on here, Install XPHome, reboot with XPHome and uninstall the MCE.
Think that will work?
I still haven't tried Linux yet though.
Opinions?
