ok, so I've been waiting for my new i7 processor (amongst other components) from newegg.
they just came today. I now have everything I need except for windows. I went up to compusa (tiger direct) and they're all sold out of vista 64 bit premium and basic.

I'm already waaaaayyy over budget for this build and really need to get an OEM copy, but would it be possible to use the windows 7 RC until it actually came out in october? Or is there another store in raleigh I can buy an OEM copy from?

Basically, I'm looking to have an OS by tomorrow, but seem to be dead in the water

any help or suggestions?
