So.. the PC plan goes well. Got motherboard, processor, hdd, cd-rw and display today.. and video card. But the video card doesn't work properly! Arrrg. It seems really loose in the slot and it doesn't display anything, so I'm guessing this a bad thing. Stupid PC hardware. So monday I'm grabbing a AGP TNT2 and PCI S3 Virge from work for testing another machine at a friends place on monday night, so I'll try them too.

Removing the RAM produces the expected error beeps, and removing the video card produces the same affect.. ie, nothing happening. Dern. For the curious, it's an Asus A7N8X-X motherboard, Athlon 2600XP retail, a WinFast A340 (Geforce 5200FX) video card, 512MB DDR2700 RAM, 52x32x52 Liteon CD-RW, 120GB WD 8MB JB drive.. bwaha. Once it works, it'll be swoit :P Only sliced my finger (right thumb) once.. stupid backplane stencil.

Until then, well damn, I just have to run the 17 inch LCD off my mac dual headed. Damn damn damn ;)

Just a quick word on the BIOS clear, remember that you have to move the jumper from pins 1-2 to 2-3 to clear it, not just remove it. Other than that, I'm fresh outta ideas.

Unless your MB BIOS was more royally screwed than azhure's, in which case you'll have to find a kind soul with an EEPROM burner.
