    I am building a pc but my Mobo has no DB15 connector on the back. Obviously I cannot hook my monitor up to this. I will be buying a graphics card tonight. I was wondering if there was a way to hook up my monitor before I do this. I wanted to run a POST test but have no video. i don't want to get a graphics card and then not be able to install it due to not having a monitor.

    I have a Asus M2N-SLI Motherboard - NVIDIA nForce 560 SLI, Socket AM2/AM2+, ATX.

    If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

    No the DB9 connector is a serial port not video.
    You will need to purchase a video card.
