Hi All, Inpired by the dual Xeon 150$ Linus did I bought a couple of Xeons, a refurbished dell mobo and some ECC ram. I should have spent more time looking at the mobo I suppose but it has two motherboard power sockets and none for the CPUs. The board also has no standard fan outs and no onboard power buttons. I have an old VGA monitor plugged into the motherboard. I have two power supplies so I can power both Motherboard power-ins but so far the build has yet to show signs of life. Any suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Typically using two PSUs on one system can cause problems. My best bet that it's your PSU setup that is causing the system not to post. Do you not have one PSU that can power up every thing?

I have 3 PSUs in total 1 in my PC +2 extras but none of them have dual motherboard ins(18 pins, I think?), do they sell PSUs with 2 18pin outs?
