Well since we are all about datacenters now:
The balcony datacenter was moved to the basement

So i changed the shit TP-Link to a more business oriented Mikrotik RB2011 router, which works like a charm. Added an older 1.3 Ghz Duron (I hate AMD, but il take what i can get) to act as my web server. Modified the UPS to work with a car battery in case the power goes and you never know when it will in a basement
.
Both servers have 2 HDD's and they back them selves up by copying the necessary files to another drive (makeshift RAID 1).
Reasons for moving:
1. No more noise out of the balcony at night.
2. Free power.
3. Closer to the ISP's switches with which i like to tinker
Recently acquired a few motherboards to turn into a few working boxes

Socket 604 mobo, sadly it just does not want to turn on, some weird AGP-pro issue

Socket 478 with a Pentium 4, just needs some low density ram and its good to go.
The existing machines are running stable for more than 3 months since i moved them there.

As for 604, awesome buy!
I bought my self an Dell Precision 470 with 2x Intel Xeon 3.2GHz HT. Will upgrade it soon to 3.8GHz.
Tell me the problem the MoBo has, maybe we can solve it.
The LED's light up so i am lead to believe it should start up, but it doesnt.
I did some reading around that the red led near the AGP port should not light up, its some sort of a protection mechanism so that you dont plug 3.3v graphics cards in there. I have a bunch of AGP cards and it does not matter what card i put in the led is still on and the system wont start. Even leaving the port empty doesnt solve it.
Its a AGP pro slot, though older AGP cards are compatible with it.
So either i am doing something wrong or the mobo is dead.
If none work the board is dead.
Could be RAM as well. What POST beeps does it emit? And are you sure that the PSU is all right as well?
Ran it without anything still the same.
Also just to be sure check the PSU voltage outputs.
