As I said, it still doesn't boot even without any RAM installed--no beeps, no nothing. The PSU is definitely good, everything is powered but nothing boots; fans spin, hard drives spin when they aren't connected to the IDE, etc etc.

That's how I've been operating thus far--though minus the GPU, I've been using the onboard graphics to avoid any potential problems there. I did try with the 9600GSO I have in the event the onboard graphics were fried, and the results didn't change, so I removed it from the equation. It...

My first message may have been a little confusing: I don't get a boot screen, and I don't get any beeps regardless of what I do. The hard drive spins when just the power is connected, and does NOT spin when the IDE cable is connected. I know that sounds weird, but that's the situation; I know...

So it's just another day, and just another build, except for the hard drive; when the IDE cable is plugged in, the hard drive does NOT spin (but there is power, the LED indicator on the bottom is lit), but when the IDE cable is unplugged from the motherboard, the hard drive DOES spin. On top of...

Best bang-for-the-buck currently, the equivalent 8600GT/S go for $100 more...and DX10 isn't worth *that much ;)

lighten up people, on any other day of the year I'd agree with a banning, but it's April Fools...a holiday...for pranks...so just laugh and move on.

$1,000,000. wait....most politians have already done that...shoot :( Religion is a way for humans to create excuses for the unknown, anyone who's taken a history class knows how many excuses religion has conjured up for curious happenings, like disease, the stars, gravity, apples, sex...

very nice! most 20"ers are priced at there.

6600 dominates the 9550, my 6600 512MB overclocked surpasses the 6600GT

The old-old CFLs, I mean like 3-4+ years old, used 31 watts of power to produce 100watts of incandescent light. Any bulb produced 3-2 years ago up to now, use only 23watts of power to produce 100watts of incandescent light. The newest, and most expensive, bulbs which are just starting to be...

it's the radiator. www.dangerden.com (BlackIcePro, BlackIceXtreme, BlackIce GT)

Wrong: a $150 watercooling setup will drop your temps below what any air can do. $150 will buy you a great, mid-range setup which can be easily expanded and replaced. My recommendations: -Keep your side panel on, the only air benefit is....more air, if you have good circulation you should be...

Well thanks for the elaboration :-P

The FOR SALE thread is intended to be an area to post items FOR SALE, and in recent weeks, I've noticed more WTB posts than for sale posts in the FOR SALE FORUM! I think there need to be a two-pronged approach: 1) Ask members to only post For Sale threads, and if they have WTB's, include them...
