Glad you got it working.Thanks but I have no idea what I'm doing when I load FreeDOS, tried changing directory but it doesn't work.
Edit - following the very simple instructions on the link you provided seems to have done it.
Edit 2 - SSD installed. These speeds seem OK for SATA 2? Thanks rotor, followed the instructions in the link instead. Extremely easy. Only issue I had was W8 hanging on "getting devices ready", ended up removing the other hard drives and that seemed to work.
SSD is a 128GB Plextor PX-128M5S
Run AS SSD (benchmarking tool), and look in the top-right corner. It should say AHCI (e.g. msahci), and a green number with OK next to it (this means the partition is correctly aligned for maximum performance).

Edit: I meant Top LEFT corner.

I've just upgraded to ESXi 5.5 and no issues to report. Existing local RDMs work fine but I'm not able to test with 3tb unless someone sends me a drive to try with

Tried 1 RAM and the other one.
No USB or fan or hdds. only other option is get my 650w and power it off that if thats poss.

Phone HP. It has a warranty.
I'm sure without a fan / working fan it gives a red light (power button goes red)

tried still no. Used another PSU too. Got a vid of the mobo

I can't remember if this can accomodate a full size, legacy PCI card, any ideas please folks? I already have a half height PCI-e graphics card in mine but I could give this up if needed to house this full size PCI card I have?

Can't imagine this wouldn't be okay, can't hurt to try!
Any joy with that fan?
Hahaha, not quite. Spending the next few nights with my GF and the flat mates have been using the machine for XBMC. Sunday is looking good. I was meaning to ask, do I have to leave the machine unplugged for a few hours beforehand as I am dealing with the PSU?

Not a clue... I get what you're thinking though - if the PSU has any big capacitors inside then you don't want to be brushing your fingers up against them if they're holding any charge... However I can't imagine why they would be designed to hold any significant charge once the power to the system is completely disconnected - I'd be curious to hear an answer to this from someone who knows what they're talking about though

Unplug it from mains and then press and hold the power button on the case for a few seconds. It'll discharge all the caps in the system.
