A couple of things have popped up. I have the radeon 9600 card, it starts up when I press the power button in front, the fans turn on, but I get no video display. No startup chime whereas it had been starting up with the chime yesterday. I installed 10.4 yesterday on the new harddrive. On a

Nope. 1.8 ghz were never water cooled. However, they are notoriously picky about matched ram. I had to return/exchange a ram pair that were not exactly to spec- they just never worked. Do check your video card is firmly seated, since if you are missing hard drives from a machine new
