Greetings,
As I wait for my new parts to come in for my own machine, a colleague of mine has purchased a barebone kit of his own.

Figuring I could use the brushing-up, as it were, on my building skills I offered to put it together for him. I've double checked all of the connections but I am not getting a video output on either the integrated VGA (with or without the Radeon card installed) or the Radeon card. The LEDs come on, the hard drive spins, the fans all work, the DVD drive opens/closes; just no video output.
The one thing I notice on the motherboard is that it has an ATX power connected (24 pin) on the right as mounted in the case, and a 4pin ATX_12V on the left in between the CPU and I/O ports. The power supply that comes with the kit only has a 20+4 pin (the 20pin with a 4pin on the same length of cable that clips to the 20pin) for the ATX connection. Is this right? I would hate to think they would ship a kit without the necessary components and the reviews I have read havent mentioned this being an issue.
Clearly, I have to be doing something wrong. Any idea?
Regards,
kM
