I recently brought all the parts i need and i have everything in my possesion ecept my video card (x800 Pro) which is backordered for a while. I figured it was worth the wait since i got it for $310 :P
Anyway, I am almost positive i can put the pc together and start it up without the video card and plug the thing in later. I just wanted a second opinion.
Could some1 help me out?

Yes you could, but unless your motherboard has onboard video or you have an extra graphics card laying around, starting up the PC will be rather pointless.
Trying to work with a darkened monitor is rather tricky to say the least.

My mobo does hav any integrated grahpics, so i think ill just put it together and plug in the card later and then boot it up... there is really no point of a pc without a vidoe card lol.
