Well, I got the hard drive yesterday. I got home from my day job and found it on my chair. Wife put it there before I got home.

So, I unpack the critter and install it in my rig. I turn it on... no POST message show on the screen. WTF?!? So I spent my evening plugging in components on the motherboard. I took a break to watch Ghost Hunters, then back to tinkering.

No luck so far. My next step is to unscrew the motherboard, and see if there is something shorting it. I did notice that I got some electrical shocks when I turned my rig on. Not all the time though.

If this fails, I'll have to spring for a new mobo. Not what I wanted. Oh well!
