I've been making/fixing/destroying machines for like 13 years and haven't seen a ribbon connected gfx card ..

That's exactly what I thought but looking at google the machine was being sold actively in 2007. Be good to get a pic of the internals.

Thank you for all your replies, can't find my camera but yes, little pob, that's the connection from the monitor.

Going to give it a clean, and try and figure out how to get the graphics card swopped out....
