Well, there’s always a catch.
Whether that catch is the power supply or the motherboard is what Kent is working on figuring out now. (He got the two 22″ VGA monitors out of the deal – which turned out to be better than advertised, since they were both dual-input monitors with A/B source selector buttons on their front panels – since I’ve already got LCD flatpanels I’ll be using for this.) All I do know is that everything else powers up, but when the PC is connected to power, it just emits a whine, and can never seem to be turned on. I can’t wait to hear what it sounds like when it is up and running though – just the Avid Meridian module, the “QuietDrive” (HA!) and the VTR all turned on sound like a plane about to take off next to my head.
