The system is at my house (he dropped it off this morning). I tried it using a standard outlet. Nothing happens. I can rule out the video card. I've moved the memory over one slot, tried one stick at a time. D#$@, why did I volunteer for this!!!

It was hooked up to a small ups. Unfortunately I don't have any other computer to swap the ram/cpu out of, is there any other way? My understanding is that if there is any thing wrong with the cpu or ram, there should still be a video signal. The green light on the mb is on. Does this rule...

btw, this did happen during a thunderstorm! He turned the computer off as the storm got worse, but it was still plugged in.

How about a 4u server case if you want something different. Look at geeks.com

Thanks again.

Thanks.

It has the Intel 865 G chipset. Thanks.

Thanks everyone!

I don't think it's possible to do a comprehensive, fair side-by-side comparison.

I'm thinking about buying the 23 inch Apple lcd. I heard that the max res of DVI is 1600x1200...is this true? if so how do Apples use the monitor since they use the same nVidia/ATI cards?
