Yeah, tried without RAM, no beeps. I get beeps with the sandy bridge without RAM. Also tried shorting the battery contacts. And, no, not an engineering sample. Thanks for the ideas and help guys, it looks like this will be a sandy bridge build for me.

Ha, thanks for the offer. Feel like driving to Cincinnati?
