Not dumb question, I didn't state if it worked or not. But yes, it does work with other PC's I have, so it's not the monitor that's not working though I wish it was :/

Yea, tried them all out of the case on a desk, only the one that came with the case has been in the case.
Going to borrow a motherboard tester that you stick in a PCI slot soon, so maybe that will yield some further results.

As I mentioned, I've tried three motherboards...
Sparda, all that was connected was the power switch.
Mr-Protocol, Only one of the three motherboards has on-board and I tried that too (with and without the PCI-E card connected).
iisjman07, I have tried all that on all three motherboards.

I bought a pc for £10 as it didn't work, all I really wanted was the case, but when I got it I saw it was a Acer Aspire T650 with a Pentium D 820, 1GB DDR2 and a PCI-E gfx card so I thought it may be worth getting running to use as a HTPC.
The problem:
When I pressed the power button the PSU and CPU fans spin up, but nothing comes on screen, no beeps.
What I've tried so far:
- Tried both VGA and DVI on the PCI-E gfx card, and the on-board VGA.
- Tested PCI-E gfx card in another machine, works fine.
- Tried with and without hard drive connected.
- PSU tested and works fine, tried another PSU too.
- Took RAM out to see if speaker works, powered up and it beeped continuously until powered off.
- Tested RAM in another PC, works fine.
- Reset CMOS on motherboard.
- Tried the CPU in two other socket LGA 775 motherboards.
- Tried a Celeron D CPU in the three different motherboards.
I would really like to get this box working, seems a shame to let it go.

Update, I have a motherboard tester now. I stuck it in and it gave the code A1, which according to the booklet means "Check key lock", and as I mentioned its a Acer Aspire T650 with a Pentium D 820, 1GB DDR2 and a PCI-E gfx card, there are no key locks or case locks etc in sight.
I have no idea where to go from here, I have no idea where the "key lock" is and how to check it... any advice appreciated.
