Ill sell you a computer for 1700.
Antec 900

Quad Core Q6600

Nvidia 680i SLI Ready

4GB of Corsair

2 500GB Hard Drives in Raid

40 Dollar CPU Cooler

22" Monitor

and some other shiz.

That could all be bought well under $1700 BNIB w/warrantys.....heck that wouldn't even break 1k.....OP, does the PC boot into BIOS? If it's not booting at all first thing to check would be the PSU.

Does it have onboard video?

no it does not. i was looking for that before, wish it did so i could find it. just two COM connections back there

Do the lights on the keyboard turn on? How do you know its booting? Seems like a dumb question but just want to make sure its actually booting instead of the fans just turning on.

yea they flash. mouse turns on. it the monitor would turn on. my background wud be on it. on the LED display on my motherboard for error reading. it tellsme that it boots up just fine. no display though.

What I would do is, re-seat the video card, clear the CMOS by taking the battery out for a while. Un-install all components except bare minimum (use only 1 stick of RAM). Then try again. Also try a different monitor.

i have a complete different POS computer here. and the minitor works fine with it. re seating has been done, but how do you take the battery out for a while and where is it located?

It's on the mobo somewhere, It looks like a giant watch battery.

Something like this.
