Well, back to the waiting game lol
Well I have confirmed it now, the motherboard is entirely dead, caput, finito. Maybe I'll make an fancy ornament of it or something but I now have to get a new motherboard...
This means 1. I have to wait and see if I have sufficient funds to be able to get it at the end of this month or next and 2. The waiting for it to arrive to me after I order it.
Ain't life a bitch sometimes? :P

Okay, motherboard delivered back to me
So today I got and fetched the motherboard from the postoffice, it had arrived there during my stay in Germany.
Still a little baffled at the very short description from the support personnel I opened up the motherboard and ye and behold, there were a load of bent CPU pins :/
Well well, CPU pins aren't that hard to put back to where they belong, it only requires a rather good lighting of the work area and something pointy and thin, for me this was a model knife :P
After scanning the sockets and repositioning the pins to where they are supposed to be I decided to do an trial run of the motherboard. I plugged in the PSU, without anything in the board at all, and plugged it into the wall.
The DP2 led never lit up at all, I figured that maybe these server PSUs don't emit power while being in standby so I started it with the help of the motherboard and still no dice, the DP2 refuses to lit :(
Something tells me that I will have to buy a new motherboard :(
