You have have a keyboard to pass POST. I hear a beep but I think that I'm not passing post. I'm going to try resetting CMOS again and some diff ram that I have laying around. My case is buried in my desk and I hate digging it out. btw. I priced new guts and I'm looking at $1600.00 for cpu, mb, ram, hd, vid, and case. Add another $1300.00 for a kick ass 30" lcd. I don't feel like spending that kinda money atm. ;(
