I ask this 'cos i know the activation (WPA) file needs to check the components installed. I don't want to do too much and have to re-install after the new parts turn up.
How long will it be before you get the other parts? Anyway - I think you get 30days to use it before activation.

And don't forget you are allowed a certain number of changes.

Also even if you DO need to activate by phone they'll give you a code which will activate it for you so it's not a problem
