Did my SSD drive die again?

Well, it looks like I jumped the gun on this one.

Turns out it was my second 8800GTS that was malfunctioning. I never figured that would be the culprit with the symptoms I was getting. Remember, neither monitor was coming on and there was no Windows boot sound. Plus, the fans were running on all three GPU's so that furthered my confidence in them.

After reading the posts here, I decided to take the SSD to a friends house and plug it in. Lo and behold, it worked. I was totally confused. I double checked the GPU lights and fans and all looked fine, so I decided to try switching them around. Sure enough, I had one screen come on with Windows. After some more fiddling, it turned out that the second 8800GTS simply isn't displaying anything. While I'm happy the SSD is fine, now I'll have to spend $100+/- to replace the card. Although, being as I don't play video games anymore, I can prolly suck it for a year or so until I do an upgrade.

Anyone have a good 8800 GTS collecting dust?

Good news it seems. I finally got around to looking at a replacement 8800GTS and realized that EVGA has a lifetime warranty on their cards as long as it was registered. RMA completed and sent off yesterday.
