Got all these Dells at a school auction of excess technology equipment, and for security reasons they had to remove hard drives and operating system - that's all they mentioned, but I'm not sure that's all they removed. My problem is that when I install a HD I can't get any output to the monitor (I've tried several monitors) and three different computers. I've also tried inserting a Windows XP disc with no effect. I'm guessing that I need some Dell software, and who knows what else. If you can tell me how to resurrect these thinks, I'd be grateful.

When you pop open the side panel, are all the components there? like memory, processor, video card (unless it integrated) and is everything fit snugly? and is it like this with all of them or just some of them?
