OK, first the specs for my system are in my sig. Just so you know what I'm working with here.

I've got everything hooked up and I'm temporarily using a Radeon 9250 PCI vid card until my 800XL arrives. When I power the system up the LEDs on the board light up indicating that everything is detected and should be working, however, I'm getting no display whatsoever on my monitor. What is the root of my problem here? I've been racking my brain for the last coupla hours trying to figure this out and your help would be appreciated.

Are the four LED's staying lit? They're supposed to turn off in a countdown fashion. First the CPU detect light goes out, then the memory detect goes out, then VGA, and the last one goes out when the system boots. If you don't have an OS installed yet, don't worry about the last light yet.

If all four remain lit up, then either your CPU isn't being detected, or it is a memory issue (memory issues can cause all four to remain lit too).

Mine stayed lit at first too, then I reseated my RAM, and tried it again. At that point they began to turn off.

OK, all of them are staying lit. That being the case I'm thinking it's a CPU problem. When I opened it up there were bent pins and one of them looked like it may have been broken. When I tried to get an RMA # for it they said that it's typical for pins to be bent and it shouldn't be a problem. I think I'll be talking to them again to get a replacement.
