The motherboard is whacked. No video.
Green light on board comes on
CPU fan runs
Keyboard lights flash on for a second
Optical mouser laser flashes on for a second
Tried all the usual stuff/clear CMOS/New CMOS battery/switched memory around in different slots and tried different memory/tried different vid card/etc. Tried the PS that came with it 1st then tried an Earthwatts 500w (good one out of my Opteron PC) and it made no difference. Don't know... maybe there is something about this board I am unaware of?
The Antec 550wEPS TP 2.0 that came with it MAY be good but I am gun shy to try it in one of my good PCs if you know what I mean.
The DVD burners work AFAIK. They read CDs and DVDs OK but I did not try to burn anything with them. The soundcard/Firewire card/USB card all work too.
The final status. Everything works except the motherboard and the power supply is up in the air. It runs and all the voltages are OK but I am not going to try it out on any of my good PCs. Maybe it ruined the motherboard and maybe it didn't.
Going to sell off everything but the case, Raptors, and video card. Ain't to often anyone comes out ahead in this hobby but I think I did this time
BTW that P180 case is awesome but man is it heavy,
