    First off, hope everyone is having a great time during the holidays and lets not forget our fellow soldiers still deployed.

    So I received my replacement on the 21st with T9800 but they are sending me another replacement with the QX9300 processor.
    Scenario, lets say they decide to give me the 260's SLI instead of the 280's SLI (which is what they gave me in this replacement and this is dellienware)...
    Could I take the 280's in here and put them in the 2nd replacement, obviously put the the 260's in here and return it like that?
    So in short, I want to take these 280s out and put them in the new replacement. Take those 260s out and put them in this one and send it back to dell.
    Any input would be great, thanks..

    First off, I just wanna say thank you for your service

    now to get back on topic, that a very large gamble, if dell finds out that you switch the cards ... they gonna find a way to bill you, second if something goes wrong with the 280's dell is gonna tell you to kiss they ... so thats something to think about

    personally I would do it, but the odds are very slim
