Yeah, you can put everything together and it will work without an OS. You should be able to get beep codes from the mobo, or if everything works properly, get in to the BIOS to make sure it's recognizing everything. Can't do much else other than that though...

You COULD also boot a Linux image off USB. It's not Windows, but you could test every use-case except for 3D games. There are painless automated USB boot tools that only require that you download the distro, and point them to where you have it on your hard drive. I would recommend Linux Mint.

I'm assuming jaredmahkovtz has another working computer in the house, or would not be posting here :D
