neither, I suppose you could say it is a hybid

I configured it from the ground up and they built it for me. I am going to have a nice chat about the hdds with them because the situation is just gay. Who builds hard drives which fail at the slightest sign of stress? I don't know whether they are going to have to replace the hard drives or not. Although the mb can see them if you go into diskpart during the windows installation and do a list disk it comes back saying it cant find anything. If they disks are still okay I am assuming they are going to have to replace the psu to remedy whatever the problem is. I wouldn't mind getting them to swap the hdds over to WD or something but the problem I have got is that I have bought three seagate hdds myself because I wanted four identical hdds for my raid 10. If they swap the two that came with the pc to another brand I am still screwed.

yeah I know, that is why I have gone back to Creativelabs, i put the new soundcard in before i started playing around with the hdds yesterday and it worked perfectly, the jacks on the back are colour coded and exactly the same as what was on my Fatality and the sounds comes through each speaker seperately and distinctly as it should.
