I checked the fans as someone suggested, they Spin nice and smooth. I Iooked over everything, nothing seems out of place. I powered the machine on. Very quiet. I expected it to be much louder. I turned the machine on and nothing exploded. The KA660 cpu board has that little red lcd display ion it. A F is displayed. Not sure if that is normal or not. I need a console cable. I have a vt100 that works over here. What is the cable called, is it something i could buy, or is it something that is easy enough to make? --Devin
