My buddy who ordered an Alienware (last generation, I think similar to the 5660 Sager) left his power supply behind on a recent trip to Arifjan, Kuwait. Being that my 8890 is on the way, can he use my power supply on his computer? His...

I'm in Iraq too, though a bit south of you. In Scania, which is about 70 miles South of BIAP. Still waiting on my Sager, though, just shipped on the 12th. If you have MTS, my number is 2900. PM me sometime.

First, I was surprised Sager would ship a computer to Iraq, but it's nice because I will get it about 2 weeks sooner than I would have otherwise. Anyway, the wife ordered it for me, and she couldn't remember what RAID setting I...
