still wouldn't light I performed the paperclip test on the Enermax PSU and (no surprise) it worked beautifully. By the way . . . what a quiet PSU! Wow.
My PIII having now officially died last week I summoned my courage to return to the Build-From-Hell but this time I pulled out my old Supermicro manuals and studied their troubleshooting section. They begin with an extremely logical flowchart graphic with dozens of branches. The first branch asks : Does the motherboard have power? and that is when you notice that all of those troubleshooting branches are on one side only. If you answered No to Supermicro's first question on the flowchart (does the motherboard have lights) their answer is perfunctory: Replace Motherboard.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
I'm at the library typing this because I have no computer.costlynightmare.
