[ILUG] [OT] [SOLVED] PCI Graphics Card (Low-Profile)

[Matthew]

Thanks for the advice Séan. Taking what you've said into consideration 
I'm going to guess that the PCIe slot is blown too!

Paul (belgarath, WebAngel.ie) had an old PCI graphics card which I just 
collected from him. I am delighted to say that I have the machine 
working again! Thanks again Paul :)

Also, thanks to all those who replied with advice / suggestions.
