Im almost positive it will POST without the CPU, but you will get the beep errors saying that you dont have one in, and you cant go any further.
It won't post without a CPU.

No, he's being truthful.
I am guessing that you don't have the CPU in hand yet?
Sounds like you don't.
When you get it install the chip, heatsink, memory and video card (if you aren't using onboard video), hook the PSU main connector up and the front case on/off switch and it will POST ( well, it should, at any rate..).
Do this with the motherboard laying outside of the case ( I use the antistatic bag that the board came wrapped in to lay it on...).
If it POSTs then add the rest of the components one at a time, checking for POST after each.
Then hook up all of your front panel connectors.
You should now have a complete computer laying out like an eviscerated samurai.
Then install the board into the case, confident that all the components work and you have a good idea where the little connectors go.
It sounds like a pain, but it can save you time in the long run...
no but i will get it in 4 days thanks to newegg.
ty for the tip. but what in the hell is aQuote:

oh and if i had already installed the mobo should i just unscrew it and take it out then?
Sorry about that, just showing off.
Yes, I would remove the board.
I find it easier to install the CPU and heatsink out of the case anyway.
All the leads from my PSU were long enough to reach the components outside of the case...yours may not be.
It's only four screws to remove the PSU, so it's not a big deal to remove if you must...
