I can't even get into the BIOS!

All my parts had finally come in so yesterday I set about assembling it, thinking that once I got it together I would really have something to give thanks for. ;-) But, just as soon as I got it all together and plugged my brand new monitor into it I flipped the switch and low and behold: nothing! Nothing happened. The fans were spinning, but the monitor just kept flashing "no signal". So I set out to begin isolating the problem. I switched monitors, that didn't do it. I took the RAM out (Crucial PC-2100), disconnected the Plextor, AOpen, and 40GB Deskstar: still nothing. I took the Sound Card out (SB Live!), which left me just my AGP Card (which I tested on another system), my mobo (ECS K75SA), and my CPU (AMD 1.4Ghz w/ SK6 Heatsink & 6,000RPM Fan). My powersupply is 300 watts too. The only indication that anything is happening (since the mobo has no LEDs on it) is that the 3 lights on my PS/2 keyboard flash on and then off when I turn the power on. Does anyone have any ideas what is happening?
 
take the MB out of the case and sit it on a noncunductive surface. Hook up your PS ..Video Card and Memory and try to boot. If it boots here..you prolly had the MB grounded to the CHassis...
 
I know this sounds dumb but make sure your memmory is seated correctly and the right way I read a couple weeks ago about a couple people reversing the DDR stick which is easy to due on a ESC mobo.
 
Ok, I'll try taking the mobo outta the case. Is there any other reason that there the video card wouldn't be sending a signal to the monitor?
