tonight i built a sn27p2 the specs are amd x2 5200+, 120gb non sata hard drive with windows xp installed (pretty old), 1gb corsair corsair xms2 ddr2 800, and a sapphire x1900gt. i think the problem is the graphics card, i accidentally ordered two of them and tried both and i get a no signal from my monitor when i turn it on. anyone know whats wrong?
If I understand you correctly, you are trying to use a hard drive with XP already installed on it? That's normally a non-starter unless the drive has come from a system with identical specifications. You'll likely need to do a fresh install.

Have you tried the 2 graphics cards in another machine to make sure they are working, seems a little odd that you would recieve 2 dead cards.

no i havent i dont have another motherboard that has pci-e, and i dont have a graphics card that pci and there is no on board graphics so im stuck. do you think that brand of x1900 isnt compatabile with the shuttle?
I'm not really up on the SMF side of things to be honest. It's a possibility that the card may not be compatible, but unlikely.
Do you not have a access to any other cards or computers? Maybe a friends.

It could be a power problem. x1900gt isn't that much power hungry compared with x1900xt or x1800xt, but I believe you still need a good PSU to juice it properly. Is your shuttle PSU upto the job?
