I got an Alien Ware Area 51 750i Desktop

So i recently got an Alien Ware Area 51 750i Desktop, and I figured out that it does not have a hard drive. Any solutions?

Then something is technically wrong.

Maybe there was a reason why someone gave the computer away?
There is no bios and only fans and hdd are moving?

Could be power related. All cables fit in?

There can't be "no BIOS". Unless something is seriously wrong with the motherboard.

I'm pretty sure i didn't mix up the model. and I'm sure it's going to be an upgrade from my laptop.
Can you find me either a link or tell me all the specs.

Because using Google is just too hard?

Seriously, unless it has been upgraded frequently, it's not worth the hassle.

You don't have to be so rude. I think this is my first time opening the side panel of a desktop.
Thanks for the links though

Yes, maybe its something with the motherboard, or cables. The question was valid.

If someone says, only fans and hdd are turning,
well there is no bios. No matter if its on the chip. Its not running.

That just means something is wrong, and thus the system won't POST.
Doesn't have anything to do with the BIOS working or not.
The most common reason for this are:
- Failed OC
- Incompatible RAM
- GPU extra power connections not plugged in
- EPS 12V not plugged in
- I/O shield and Motherboard not aligned correctly; to where parts of the metal shield are touching the inside of LAN/USB port (yea it happens)
- Stand-offs > too many, or none at all.

Best bet is take the motherboard outside of the Case, sit it on a box and test it with the very basics first; then go from there.

Sometimes you may need to Reset CMOS in order to get it to boot properly again.

Like I have said earlier, I don't know much about computers. How do I "test" the mother board?

Ok, next time someone says, i dont know much about computers, you can tell indepth things first.
Or you ask, no bios just fans and hdd spinning?
Because that can be answered by ears and eyes.

If then the cables fit in,
then you can suggest to have someone look at it, or try to solve technical things over a forum.
Good luck.
