So i just got a new case for my awsome PII 400mhz computer. I stick everything in it and i get a long beep fallowed by two short beeps.

I do not know if the system was working before i put it in the new case, the PSU and HDD are brand new. Im going to try to swap out hte video card because i dont get any video either. Any thoughs? Its the original CPU and RAM...
 
The manual for the motherboard, which you can probably get online, will have what the beep codes mean in it.

HAHAHH yah good luck with that! lol its a gatway 2000 computer. i have never been able to find any documentation online for it. But it turns out that my TNT2 32mb video card was causing the problem. I replaced it with a Geforce 2 (dont know how long it will last hte heat sink fell off). It runs fine, andboots into win2k. The only problem is it has a BIOS password, so i removed hte battery and we will see what happens in a few hours.
 
The most common things with systems of that age were an unseated AGP card or memory.
