Got my parts throughout the last month and a half, making sure I had the best deals I could get within the time period. Bought most of my parts from both NCIX and ME, price matching and price beating between the two places. Friends came by during the weekend and built it...friggin' awesome.

One problem though...a friend of mine brought a copy of his Windows 7 OS (not genuine) that required no activation at all. Popped it into my new rig without being connected to the internet and it detected that the copy was not genuine. Anyone know how/why it was like that? Worked for my buddy when he installed it into his rig when he built it...thought that was about 2 years ago.
