:cool: It's working now! Ends up i had put the cd drive cable in backwards... and the keyboard was working the whole time. As for the moniter I needed more power to the video card. I have to go to work, but i'll finish it up tonight.

Glad that you fixed it yourself. :)

What do you mean by "I needed more power to the video card"?
