Greetings:
My brother brought his meter, checked out the PSU. It's dead as dead,
which is actually good news. I'll get a new one, try again.
Thanks again to everyone helping out. :)

Hi,
So far as I can tell, this is the last we heard from Dave regarding his
system travails. As one who is following this thread with extreme
interest, I wonder how things are going.
I'm pulling for ya, Dave.
Hi Ken:
The saga continues. After reading some later messages re: this thread,
I decided to take the system in to a local repair shop. The PSU is fine,
my brother wasn't testing it properly (he wasn't sure about it at the
time). Alas, the mobo is a deader. I just saw the fellow who supplied
the board, he doesn't have another one so he simply paid me back in cash
(very nice of him). Now I'm back to getting a new motherboard. <sigh>
I plan to purchase a combo with the CPU installed. My RAM and video
card are okay, but the repairman wasn't sure about the CPU (he didn't
have a socket 939 mobo for testing). I'm going to make sure about the
new board and its processor.
The saga continues... :)
Best,
