No Picture on Monitor!

I've just bought a new computer, with a used Radeon 9500 Pro in it, along with the other following parts:
AMD Athlon XP-M 2600+
Thermaltake Extreme Volcano 12
Abit NF7-S2
2xCorsair Value Select DDR400 256MB.

Anyways, that's all that matters for it to POST. Now, my computer does not have any built in sound making things so it cannot beep error codes.
When I turn on the computer, the fans all work, the Power On LED on the motherboard lights up, and the Radeon 9500's fan also works. The memory is seated in DIMM2 and DIMM3.

I've already reseated the video card a few times, and I also *THINK* the memory cards are at the right place; the manufacture said you should place it from DIMM3 to 1.

Note: I forgot whether the case LED lit up, but the motherboard LEDs certainly did.

What could be going wrong?

do you hear the bios beep ?
the motherboard should have a little speaker that will beep when the bios starts

If it doesn't beep, see if your processor is put in properly. Happened to me before when I didn't put the processor in properly.
