Well I just got the email from Scan confirmng despatch of my order, and that it will be delviered tomorrow..

At last after all this time, I will finally be getting this mobo.

So I'm about to log off and yes its going to be a very long night of getting things ready, I'm just glad to know for sure that the mobo will be here tomorrow.

I'm just wondering now whether it might be better to wait until the mobo arrives and get it in and wroking before I strip down the other PC as well, just in case, the mobo turns out to be DOA.....

Oh stuff it I'll take a chance. At least I can get the HTPC done tonight, well all apart from the Wi-fi, got to wait for the PCI adapter to arrive before I can get it back into the living room and hooked up to the telly, but at least I can get it all set up and tested.

OK well, back later, much, MUCH later...!!!
