Is that possable though? They might have used another motherboard. And it never really showed the os running, might be totally screwed up.
That\'s because it didn\'t have a hard drive attatched (or none that I could see anyway). Maybe it was covered in the hulky IDE cables... /me shrugs
As long as the board, CPU, RAM, and video card aren\'t dead, chances are that it would be able to boot from a drive, just as long as the ATA connectors weren\'t borked in the process.
I\'m surprised nothing made the leads on the BIOS chip short. It was an old board, so it was probably soldered on there instead of a removable chip. Gunk can get stuck in those sockets really easily. Not that I\'d know... >.>
