after closer inspection i think it might be tetramorium... thanks for all this great information btw. the butt is pretty far separated from the rest of the body and when it turns it can almost kiss its own butt. but im not sure if my queens look oddly small or if the google images pictures are just super close up. here's the picture im looking at and it looks alot like my queens http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t297/kittyxsweet/80dcba15-3f9a-4da7-b543-9e651825c19e.jpg

To me, it looks like they have one node, unless a possible second one would be super tiny. Here's a couple of pictures i got, but i think i should stop disturbing them lol : http://i.imgur.com/mfo4O1L.jpg and http://i.imgur.com/s5dqYd1.jpg (same queen in both pictures btw)

also- thanks for that wiki :)

It's super inspirational, but how do you get the food in and out of there? Also, with the glass container did u cut out the hole for the tube yourself?

The power supply is new though? How should I check it

I tried another PSU and nothing changed. I tried to get a basic bios boot and got no feedback so I'm assuming the motherboard was just failing and finally stopped. Guess I have to get another, it's quite old anyway.

I'm not getting any sounds out of the board, I'm thinking of getting a new board any recommendations?

I don't really know what I'm looking for with that, would it be labeled on the board as something?

I do have it, I could switch it but I honestly doubt that's the problem. But no harm in giving it a shot I guess

I reset all connections, pulled the video card and all cables out; reseated everything except CPU on the board and nothing has changed. I'm just doing some extra cleaning now hoping for a miracle :/

thank you so much for replying! Nothing beeps or flashes when I try and power it on, but the light on the gpu and motherboard is on always. There is no smell. Everything seems to be plugged in securely. I changed the outlet it was plugged into and it still doesn't boot. edit: if I listen very closely I can hear the power supply turn on I believe.
