I'm not sure. I actually got it without a hard drive installed. But I'm not sure the previous owner knew that as they told me that they didn't hear the hard drive spin up. When I opened it and saw there was no hard drive, then not hearing it spin up made perfect sense. I tossed in an old drive just to see if it would get as far as spinning it up, which it does. >If not, it >could be the Analog/Video board.

I haven't cracked the case far enough to do much testing with a meter. I wanted to solicit the advice of others that may have done this before I got too far just to find out it was something simple.
