I've had no problems with taking it apart, it's making sure all the new stuff works with one another and fits in the case. Besides it's the alx one I belive I have but thanks.
I haven't done an Aurora mthrbrd swap, but I can pass on a link to someone who did; if you post in that thread, maybe MrTaylor can answer questions related to his swap.
Help having Aurora R4 function properly on the Rampage IV Gene please
Note that CmndCntr version 2.08.09 is the last version which can install on a non-Aurora mthrbrd; 2.08.11 3.5/3.6 can't, so you'd have to boot into your existing drive if those versions are installed on it. If they aren't installed on it yet, now is the time to do it, before your old mthrbrd is removed ... this is about the most info I can pass on, as I do not have the free time anymore to get involved with people's swaps, so good luck with yours. You can use this forum's search box to hunt for further info related to Aurora, bing/google Alienarena & Alienowners forums exist also for help/archived info
Ok, new problem. Got the parts at last but now I have a problem with the os. Tried a factory reset (backed up the data I wanted to keep first ) but it only gets as far as the windows loading screen, and not far at that. Apparantly it's a problem with using a new motherboard. I've tried finding a windows 7 ultimate 64 bit iso but all the links I've tried are either broken or shady beyond belief. I have the key on the back of the case. Just need a link to the iso or whatever. And no, the disk they sent with the Aurora seems to be blank. I have learned a lot from this, top of the list is make a bloody recovery disk.
Contact Dell, ask if they have reinstall dvd's, here are normal part#'s, there may be others, they can look up what u need by your service tag, approx. $10:

Hi,
Perhaps this video may be useful. You can also try posting on the Notebook Review and Alienware Arena forums for assistance.

Contact Dell, ask if they have reinstall dvd's, here are normal part#'s, there may be others, they can look up what u need by your service tag, approx. $10:
perfect example of Alienware Multi-Language OEM Reinstall DVD:
If dvd's are sold out, 7 may be available on a usb, about $40.
