Nup, everything whirs up and then spins down a second later. No beeps, no screen (although it's plugged into a tv so maybe it does display something but I don't see it).

Have you unplugged everything that isn't required (it could be something plugged in causing the problem)?
How is it connected to the TV? Sound like POST is failing to me (which is what @Dramatic_Hammer is thinking, I think) but then the board should tell you, but if you've connected in a way that requires drivers the monitor might not have kicked in yet?

Any post/beep codes?
I've given up on the PCI firewire card and ordered a PCIe card at 4x the price. Worth it if it works though, I've wasted enough time fiddling now!
