Hi, I'm just about to double check all of that now.
I have only got the basics connected, as that did seem logical to me not to
have too much to cause confusion.
I have double checked the brightness control on the monitor, but still
nothing.
Something is definately not working properly somewhere, as I left it running
yesterday,(the fans all work fine), and the cpu  didn't even get slightly
hot, yet both cpu's are  new and working fine.(or were, at least)
I'll let you know of the outcome.
