Hey guys,
Earlier today I bought an Alienware Aurora R4 ALX off Ebay with an Intel Core i7 3820 @ 3.6 GHz 16 GB DDR3 RAM and a GT 620 1 GB video card that im going to swap with my RX 480 8GB card. The PC is arriving on or before January 5th and comes with no OS or Resource CDs. The case needs a little work, it needs a left top side panel and a front bezel assembly (all the pieces are there but they are damaged). Firstly I'd like to know if there is any way to acquire the windows 7 OS disk for the PC as well as any resource CDs and Respawn CDs. Secondly the seller says that the power button does not function and can be turned on by plugging it in. My Area 51 had the same problem when I replaced the motherboard and was solved by sorting out the front panel connections. I think that should solve the issue with the power button if not im going to replace the assembly anyway. And third I was wondering if you guys would want a YouTube video of unboxing it and give an overview of the system and my Area 51.
Thanks for reading.

, the PC shipped from Dell with 2x 7870s 2GB each and a Samsung 512G SSD that were not mentioned in the listing. the GPUs had been replaced with a "puny" GT 620 1GB card and the SSD not mentioned in the listing so either the seller did not know about the SSD due to the OS being wiped or he removed it and kept it for himself. Its a shame I was already planning on throwing in a SSD boot drive to begin with but now knowing it shipped with one and sold without one or not knowing sold with it frustrates me. Hopefully the seller did not acknowledge the existence of the SSD and left it inside. Luckily however, he left me the factory 16GB RAM, CPU and the original 1TB hard disk drive.
