Do you think it would have helped if I had provided my shoe size, the 
length of my shirt sleeves, the length of my trouser leg from crotch to 
cuff, not to mention some other bits of detail?

What difference does it make what I have connected to/sitting on the 
motherboard?

I press the power-up button and nothing happens - not a single beep.

If there was a problem with RAM or the mobo then the BIOS would give me 
1 long and 1 short beep.

If there was a problem with the graphic card it would give me 1 long and 
2 short beeps.

And so on and etc and etc.

But no beep at all - what does it mean? Which is why I asked for 
suggestions.
