So the third time around building a box ( they gave the others to new hires we found out were coming when they showed up to have their accounts turned on). They give me a box that looks like all the others but I can't get any known drivers to work for Video, NICs, USB, or Audio. I can' find a model number on the board and the hooks to retrieve

Ummm, you want an out? Friend's company is staffing up for an outsource contract at Juniper. Bill's got the details of what they're after.

Look up driverpacks.net. That can help you out. I'll be on IM tomorrow.

Thanks for site info I will add it to my bookmarks for the next time.

I got the drivers figured out and working last night but, I think this post was more about frustration and the Mark like response I was having to the old systems manager and the crap hardware he would buy. It turns out we have and an entire short rack of servers in our render farm that are "Engineering test" that he got by trading some "things" for.

Slightly unrelated but . . .
