No beeps... no nothing. The monitor doesnt even turn on.

I've installed lots of new hardware on it (cdrom, sound card etc) so even though I dont know what psu means I dont think thats the issue.

It kida looks like its starting - the cdrom drive starts spinning and the light flashes but the red "loading" light doesnt flash so I'm just assuming that it doesnt get past the power on stage even though the green power light is on. Does that make sense?
