Hey gangt1, building computers is not rocket science. Any idiot can do it. If you have the desire, there are some basics you must adhere to such as not blowing up your stuff by handling. I'm talking about ESD- electro-static discharge. Be sure you have the power on/off switch plugged in the correct connector. If this isn't inserted correctly, your mobo will never power up. If the machine doesn't POST, then unplug everything except the motherboard and video car a minimal configuration & go from there. But be sure to turn the power off each time you remove or insert a card. Use a power supply you know works. Older power supplies will just die when they want to. I just brought my old machines to my nephew. I pulled everything out of my first over-clocked computer. One made with an Abit BX-6 mobo & a Celeron 300A which I overclocked & ran for years at 450 Mhz. I had him assemble it & we ran into a few problems, each one was handled and he now has a machine which won't play any of his games! lol But he will build his own. I just built ne with a E6750 and it screams. with sales & rebates, I paid about $1,000. Had I gone Dell, I'd of been raped for $3-4,000. Don't go Dell dude...
