I am building a new system (first time for me) with the following:

Raidmax X1 case with 450W PS
ASUS P5WDH motherboard
E6600 CPU
Corsair 2GB memory (VS2GBKIT667D2)
Gigabyte GEFORCE 7600GS graphics
Seagate 300GB SATA300 HDD
NEC16x DVD R/W IDE

When I power it up, all I hear is 1 beep. No video.
The markings on the BIOS chip is as follows:
49LF008A
33-4C-NHE
0629350-B

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ram

Nice system..if you are using the 450w psu that came with the case though..I would replace it, raidmax PSU's are low quality, and I wouldn't want to trust my expensive hardware to it.

I'm a bit of a noob too... what exactly is modular?

(I'll sit in the stupid corner later!)

You can remove unused cables from the power supply to reduce clutter in the case and improve airflow.
