If there are no beeps, then it's not POSTing. Go ahead and rip out everything (yes, everything) except the motherboard, CPU, video card, and RAM. Power it on. Does it POST? No? Try putting in known-good RAM. Does it POST? No? Carefully examine the CPU/Heatsink, making sure that they're installed properly/etc. Try again. Does it POST? No? Probably a motherboard issue, RMA it.

That's what I was gonna suggest. I had the same problem when I put my system together. It turned out to be a bad MOBO.
