Hi, I recently bought a new computer but I am having trouble getting everything to work. Here are the parts I bought:

Case: Antec P180 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811129154
Motherboard: ECS KA3 MVP v1.0A http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813135024
CPU: AMD 64 X2 3800
RAM: 2 512MB Corsair http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145539
Video Card: Sapphire X1900 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102022
Hard Drive: 250 GB Western Digital http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822144417
DVD-Drive: Samsung DVD Burner http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827151136
CPU Cooling Fan: Zalman socket AM2 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835118004
Monitor: Samsung 19" Widescreen http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824001088
PSU: Thermaltake 700 W http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817153039

I also have an ATI PCI video card ( http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=ATI-RAGEXL-8M&cat=VCD ).
I installed everything and turned the computer on, but nothing appeared on the monitor. I tried reinserting the graphics card and made sure all the connections were right. The video card has DVI out so I tried using a DVI to VGA converter but still nothing appeared on my monitor. I tried using an older monitor, nothing appeared. I tried the ATI PCI video card, which has VGA out but still nothing appeared on the monitor. The computer turns on, the case fans turn on, as well as the CPU fan. The fan on the x1900 turns on so I think that is working. The DVD drive works, but I can't get anything to show on my monitor. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thank You

have you connected any required aux powers plugs to the m/b and the card if required
