    My money is on your money too as it happens. Might have been full of dust or just a bit knackered and the additional weight of the new drives wattage has blown it. I wrote the above and am thinking I may continue refining it as a guide to "what to do when you have no BIOS beeps" lol

    Where should it go these days? Washington? Moscow? London? A tent in the foothills of the Himalaya ? I've stopped watching the news and don't know who is in charge.

    When I need parts and have no money I drive round the neighbourhood on Garbage day looking for the whiteboxes people have thrown out. Skips are good too - or stroll into a local business and/or college and brazenly ask if they have any computers they are not using that you can use for a project. Last year alone I salvaged and rebuilt/refurbed ten computers through such stalking/begging and gave them to folk who had need and no dollar

    ... and if you find two 250W power packs ... get modding and you have 500W of power
