Linuxlite to the rescue

I had to use WD-40 to remove the real rusted areas on the VGA connector of the monitor, just to get it to recieve a video signal. The monitor was trash anyway, it actually cut-off a few times while I was taking the pictures lol. It was already near the end of its life to say the least.

When I first got it out, computer was beeping at me like crazy, turned out all that was needed to boot was to re-seat the RAM in its slots. The RAM was not completely contacting the motherboard.
