Upgrade time all goes well until I notice that the PSU doesn't have the correct power socket 20 pin rather than 24pin. Doh.
At least the case got another clean out and with a slide out tray it doesn't take long to put things back.
Everything back and no display. The lights are on but no ones home. Spent ages and ages then suddenly remembered the orginal usb keyboard adaptor broke and I was using the mouse one which of course was in the wrong socket.
Doh I've done the same before but noticed striaght away.
Next mixed up which Hard drive was which so no boot device. Swapped them round knocked the power cable off without noticing. The connector had fallen behind the rest of the cables. Why wasn't my hard rive spinning up Doh.
Machine boots but the new memory doesn't like the old and runs at 166mhz rather 200mhz or it's a motherboard limitation. Doh.
Back to working and ordered a new power supply which won't come until next Wednesday. Doh.
