My system is based from a Dell Studio XPS8000, then custmized and upgraded with various items, all that is left from the original system is the mobo and cpu, and I have updated the bios to the latest version, still looking for a custom Bios to flash onto this thing to unlock it.

Everything worked out of the box, though I did install my custom kernel, and the Nvidia prop. drivers, which did require some finesse due to the location of where my custom kernels put the header files, so unless you use a custom kernel, they should install just fine for you.
