Start of rant:

Christ, I got a 9800GX2 today in the mail that I can't use for a few reasons.
The first is that it blocks my SATA ports on my motherboard.
Now, I know there's normal 90 degrees SATA cables and inverted 90 degrees ones available somewhere.
Second thing: The freaking 8pin PCI-e! The OCZ GameXStream 700W, while being a super power supply only has 2 6pin connectors. No 8pin.

Sure, the first time and even the second time it's hilarious. But after a while, it gets down right annoying.

At first I believed it was the new Creative X-Fi drivers. I switched to older ones (ones I knew...

Ah damnit I'm in a pissy mood. TV tuner works fine in my other computer, just not in the one I want to use it.

I've tried changing video card (Nvidia to ATI), didn't do it.
I tried removing my Creative X-Fi, didn't do it.
I tried changing PCIe 1x ports, didn't do it.
I tried XP 32bit instead of Vista 64bit, didn't do it.
I tried around 5 drivers for the TV tuner, didn't do it.

This is really becoming a hardware issue... The problem I experience...
