I ordered a Chaintech and got subsituted with a Shuttle.
I installed it, in a new case with a new power supply and a new floppy drive, and used the old hard drive and CDROM
My first problem was that the new case came with it's own wires for special things like temp control and lights. I really don't know what to expect because I can find no place to hook in the 8 single prog ends (4 each). Where on a motherboard can extra wires be attached?
Second problem is that althought the computer turns on, the monitor won't respond. I tried bypassing the onboard video connector and installed a video card. I still could not get a response from my monitor.
So now I think the monitor is confused because of the old hard drive. Is it mandatory to format a hard drive when replacing a motherboard? If I got a new hard drive I suppose I could install the old hard drive as a slave, although my computers are old and I have never had any luck with that before.
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
