  Anybody in the lug proficent with PC hardware?  Apparently I've lost my 
touch.

I am at my wits end trying to get a system up and running. I've swapped 
components and still can't get a boot.

  Abit NF7 socket A motherboard
  AMD Athlon 2500 processor (also have 2100 processor, state unknown)
  E-Geforce 6200 256MB video card (also have Jaton 3DForceMX440-8X 64MB)
  1GB DDR333 memory (2 x 512) (also have 512MB of DDR266, 2x 256)
  Brand new Jpac 500W ATX power supply

  Bought the motherboard off Ebay, RMAd the motherboard back to Abit when I 
couldn't get my components to boot with it. This is the 2nd Abit MB I am 
on.

  I need someone who can test each component for me individually or tell me 
what the heck is going on. For what I've spent in time and money I could 
have had a Dell shipped to my door I guess.

  I don't have the cash to take it to a shop but I can buy dinner for those 
who would be willing to test my components in a working system so that I 
can rule out what it could be.

  Any takers??
