I've spent the weekend so far trying to build a Windows Home Server specced as follows:

Mobo - Idot Via PC2500E
CPU - C7-D 1.5GHz
Hard drives - 2 x 500GB WD Green Power
Memory - 1GB Crucial DDR2 PC2-4200

Wrapped in a Anteck NSK case with a DVD drive for the install and a gigabit lan card to have to quickest possible connection to the router.

Got home on Friday and plugged everything together with much swearing - I'd not realised just how small the case and board are - there's not a lot of room at all! Managed it eventually and sat back to admire my work :)

Eventually tracked down a VGA cable and plugged that, a mouse and keyboard and pressed the power button.

Nothing happened.

Unplugged everything and tried again - this time it booted, but not in to POST. On dismantling I realised I'd not plugged the 4 PIN power in :) Now it's back to the same old same old with absolutely nothing happening :)

I've followed the advice here up to sticking it on a sheet of cardboard - no change.

Any ideas or is the mobo junk?
