There is nothing to setup until you have a harddrive and memory. > > I believe it has the stock video card with ADC and DVI outputs.

Does the monitor show any response? Does the power light come on? Can you hear the fans? With no RAM you should hear something. Try doing a PRAM reset. After turning it on hold down the Command-Option-P-R keys. It's possible the volume is turned down to 0 so you won't hear the no RAM error sound. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
