So, sad news. :( I finally got around to getting everything back hooked up and everything (ended up just cutting off the offending PCIe x1 slot)...and I think the MBB is dead now... :( So, once my paycheck goes through on Thursday..and the mechanic hopefully figures out everything that's wrong with my car on Friday...maybe I'll be able to pick up a replacement. ...guess I'm staying on my laptop a bit longer. :(
