Testing motherboard

I'm testing several socket 370 boards with a working CPU and RAM but none of them boot (no display on monitor). I've been testing the boards on top of the motherboard boxes with the mouse, keyboard, video, and power supply attached. The fan spins and powers up but nothing displays on screen. This has occured with 4 boards and I'm wondering if I need to mount the items in a case for it to work? (Perhaps it needs to be grounded?) It would be such a pain for so many motherboards to test. Any advice / experience is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

yea, you should be able to do it on the box...

I've seen boxes that tell you to mount them on the box first...

Just curious if the power supply was dead or what? I'm having a similar problem but think it's the mobo. Did you swap out PS's and it worked fine?
 
I've tested my mobos on cardboard, foam padding, antistatic pad, and on slide-out trays. No problems at all.
