Hey folks. I acquired a (new to me) above computer. I am a little unfamiliar with the normal operation of these machines. The previous owner on the auction site stated that it powered up, but had no monitor to test it. No hard drive and ram came with it. So it arrived today, and I installed two 512 sticks of ram, and plugged in a monitor to it. I get the startup chime, and the fans turn on, the power lights turn on on the monitor. I do not yet have a hard drive for it at the moment. The superdrive is still there, but my son had to manually open it with a paperclip. We put a 10.4 dvd in it, but couldn't decide if we could hear it spin up or not. Back to the monitor, it's a cinema display 17", the two power indicators are lit on the bottom, but I don't get any kind of a splash screen, basically the monitor stays dark. Just took it out of the box earlier, still poking around at it.
