@NuclearShadow indeed but that Kingston drive looks like a deal

I think you're over valuing your cards. I can buy the same cards new from newegg.com for $200. Similar models for $180. You might have better luck selling them separately too. I would ask $150 each or $290 for both. The value will keep dropping the longer you hold on to them so price them...

My first thought is it's problem with the video driver. In safe mode try uninstalling your Nvidia GeForce drivers and reboot, if it works download and install the latest drivers. If not, my next thought is the 9800GT could be dieing on you. Try and see if you can boot without it installed...

I would look into a SSD and more RAM unless you plan to replace that mobo soon.

Was wondering when the SBM would return. Now if I just had an extra $2K. Now lets see how the lower price models hold up. Sure is a good time to be building a new PC.

Yeah you can think of the BIOS as a mini operating system of sorts. So as in WindowsXP can change all the settings you want but eventually if you want to run some newer software (IE9?) you need to update to Windows7.
