Activation may fail and it will come up asking you to activate over the phone, give them a call and say that you have changed your motherboard and now Windows won't activate and they will give you a code to enter.

Let me know when you've built it. You only live in Cov don't you? I'll pop downt he M69 and steal it.

Any spare gfx cards lying around let me know

The 8800 probably just needs some gold leaf on one of the connectors or something stupid like that.

the devil spawn will have this rig with its card in it im afraid.... but skell is right about the gold leaf.. wifey fixed my old 7950 card like this... got to have a stead hand and a sheet of gold leaf...from hobby craft of something like that... it fixed it a treat

Errr, where do I look?!

Look for what? You can find gold leaf at a hobby craft place.

As for the graphics card, it's the pins that go in to the slot. Given the weight of the card with the cooler and the amount of damage the courier managed to do, I would imagine the card probably moved about quite a bit and some of the gold leaf may have come off, alternatively something else may be wrong with it.

Could try sending it up to sparks, his missus could make a living off fixing old graphics cards.

Looks like there are two pins that have the tips missing?
