I went to the mall with some chicks I know, looking for running shoes and they conned me into getting my ear pierced, I've never had my ears peirced ever and was kind of interested to see what it would look like. Should I get a gauge going now or what? Any piercing advice and/or humilation is good.

This thing will not POST. It powers on but does nothing at all. I got beeps out of it 3 random times, once it was a constant beep, and the other 2 times it was beeping really fast non-stop, but almost every time it doesn't beep either. When I power it on without any memory or the video card it still doesn't do anything, no beeps. Something also strange is that when I moved the cmos jumper to reset it the PC still powered on with the jumper in the clear/reset position, which I don't believe is normal.
Am I safe to assume the board is the issue here? Also, since when the hell did video cards start using 2 molex power connections?

So I got totally hooked on the editor and wanted to make something. I decided to start with a remake of the old NES Pinball. Needs a little bit of clean up still, but everything seems to be working.
