All the parts ('cept the harddrive) have arrived for my new computer. Tower, motherboard, videocard, power supply, ram, CPU.... I've got them all plugged in, (again, except the harddrive, but I thought I could at least look at the BIOS) but I'm getting no signal to my monitor. I'm pretty sure I'm getting power to my motherboard since the ethernet light lights up and the CPU is going, video card fan is spinning and a small red light is on on it (ATI x1900x). Strangely enough my CD drive is getting no power...

Here's my motherboard:
MSI K9A Platinum Socket AM2 ATI CrossFire Radeon XPRESS 3200

Here's my power supply:
Antec NeoPower NeoHE 550 ATX12V 550W Power Supply 100

If anyone has any ideas for troubleshooting, please let me know. My drive should be in monday/tuesday, but I don't think that'll make a difference with not displaying anything.



EDIT:
no worries, I found I didn't have a tiny power cable plugged into the mobo.
