anyway the old components i'm reusing is the ps, vid card, processor, and water cooler. So the new pieces are the case, mobo, and ram.
When I try powering up everything seems to get power, I can feel the hdds spinning, and the h50 pumping coolant but I get no video. The mobo also has a video out but no video on that one either. Not sure if its the mobo b/c everything seems to get power and when everything is plugged in I get led's on the back for everything. The other interesting thing is that the video card makes a vroom..pause...vroom..pause..vroom (etc) noise when the machine is powered up.
Are you sure it is blank, no flashing white dot in the top left corner? I asume the monitor isn't getting any signal at all so i would say this. I would say that the Mobo graphics is the only one that will work untill you get BIos configured and drivers installed, so double check that. if still doesn't work, then look for damaged pins on the Monitor cable or the motherboard itself

ZipGrep is a utility that can list and search zip (.war, .ear, .jar, etc) archives for text patterns, without the need to extract the archive's contents.
One of a set of tools we're offering as a way to say thank you for being a part of the community.
I'd also suggest checking whether the CPU is properly seated.
After that, if all of the above hasn't helped, the most likely component is a failed mobo.
The first suggestion of an underpowered PSU is not correct, imho, 700w is plenty!
Do you still have all the old components to rebuild the system? That would give confidence that all other re-used components have survived the transplant....
