Damn,

Funnily enough I just had a root around the latest pallets of Dixons
customer return stock that came in last week and I have one of these boxes
myself with the same board in. Tested it and it does exactly the same.
Swapped the CPUs over between the two and nothing changes. Mine has been
stripped so it had no graphics card or memory so I still don't have an
original AGP card but surely this can't be a co-incidence?
