   I'm debugging one of my home built PCs, I just bought a new motherboard to swap out, and the damn thing starts up, fans and lights and all, video card has power, motherboard has both the 24 pin and the 4 pin in, tried with and without RAM, etc; no picture comes up on display through video card.. DVI or D-SUB.

   I need to debug this, maybe buy one of these little buggers (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002W4M0DW/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=A1MJELJJEFQKB1) to see if I can hear any POST codes. My Antec 300 case apparently doesn't have one.

   So are there any stores nearby with misc computer hardware like that? Small, big, Best Buy, etc., just needs to be close to WS.. I'm in the Delridge area..

   Ahhh..
   PC as in computer
   not as in politically correct.

   that makes a lot more sense.

    Your post made me realize I left mine in the last graphics workstation I rebuilt. Antec really should still include a speaker but that was an antec case my speaker tool left with.

    re-pc should have them. And I probably have a few more in old cases I don't have time to go through.

    If you don't get it working I can probably help.

    The last one I had do that was new bad ram and the speaker gave me the clue.

    Try one stick at a time or another stick before you go looking for a speaker.
