I didn't think you could get a MB without on board video and sound these
days.  I prefer a separate video cards as the on board digs into your
system RAM for the display.  Not being a twitch gamer I don't need the
latest (Gate has a G Force 4, a bit dated these days)

BTW, if you want to haul that box over Thursday I have a few video cards
we could try and see if Aaron is right.  I also have a PSU tester. 
Hardware is us.  I might not know my way around the command line, but I
can build a box.
