Try to disconnect any type of connectors you don't necessarily need to complete POST and get a working signal to your screen. Things like USB, HD-Audio, RESET-SW etc. could be faulty and could get the pc stuck in a reset-loop. Try to remove 1 DIMM at a time and switch the channel they're inserted on to rule out damage to the DIMM-Slots. Check if your cables are working or if the display is broken, try different ones.
What kind of PSU are you using? Does it have enough power for your system? have you tested it with a PSU-Tester ?
If all fails it might be a good idea to get a PCIe POST Reader to check if your system completes POST

EDIT: After looking at your photo again it looks like there is a single DVI-port in the top left corner, try to connect your screen to this one and check whether the BIOS is set to use onboard graphics
Generally speaking, aftermarket cables do present a risk compaired to the standard ones the unit comes with. However, if the cables are explicitly made to be compatible with your particular unit, I wouldn't worry.
If it makes you feel any better, you can go and buy a power supply tester like this. They're not terribly expensive, after all.
I mine only ETH because dual mining consumes more power and like I said I had some negative experience with burning PSUs. Now I have platinum 1200w PSUs for each rig (I have 5 RX470 x 6 rigs, 1 RX470 x 5 rig, and 1 GTX1070 x 6 rig).. so 41 GPUs in total. The GTX1070 rig costed about 4100 USD in total while RX470 rigs about 2000 USD each.
Its risky to build a new rig now (especially nvidia), but if ETH price does not crash then you are likely to repay the investment within one year probably.
I have a watt meter, multimeter and PSU tester (this one). Also, since I am in Europe my voltage is 230volts, not sure if this makes any real difference against USA 120v.
No...this is my first build :'(
Would this be a smart purchase? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Power-Supply-Tester-With-Display/dp/B004IO5CT8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1342286121&sr=8-1
How did you connect the drives to the motherboard? Did you check if the drives start spinning? Sounds like there is something wrong with the psu. Are the fans turning?
Get yourself one of these to test the psu:
