Well, I received a replacement ASUS A8N to the replacement A8N that was DOA today… Newegg managed to lose the 2nd RMA. Bah. Anyway, plugged everything in, and bing! we have a working machine. Yay! I’ll keep it on and see about burning it in, but looks like everything is working just fine… booted up with the content on the HDs just fine, so didn’t need to tweak weird CMOS settings for the nVidia RAID controller or anything, which was nice.
Found your blog by incidence. Would like to know your roots. Any in Germany?

Doubtful, but ya never know. Ancestry is Swedish; my great-grandfather came over during the Alaskan gold rush circa 1895. The original name was “Sälberg” which is pronounced like Selberg. My great-grandfather probably changed it ‘cuz he was sick of everyone calling him Mr. Salberg (incidentally, changing the name from Seal Mountain into Room or Hall Mountain. Blech. :).
