does the motherboard make any beeps when starting up?
it would need one of these little speakers in order to do so.

the number of beeps will indicate the POST error it is encountering.
like memory or graphics etc.

the chances are it will be the motherboard, memory, or graphics card - or a combo of those.

I'd really be chasing the suppliers myself - warranty is after-all a hidden cost in the purchase price.
they are legally obligated under your consumer rights to replace, replace or refund.

next, have you done the strip down and re-assembly of the rig onto the table or floor?

Unfortunately it does not come with a beeper. I'm still in contact with Redux to see if I can get anything out of them as well. And yes, currently my rig is on my table on cardboard just as you suggested. Only the essentials are hooked up right now.

getting your hands on one of those speakers may help pinpoint the issue - saving you getting a part you may not need.

my money is on the GPU personally.

ask a friend, neighbour, or family member if they have a speaker, or even 'burrow' one out of a work PC. :)
mind you, they are only about $2.

When I unplug my video card and turn on my PC my keyboard lights up. What would your assessment be for that situation? I'm not incredibly familiar with troubleshooting however I find it weird that when I unplug my video card something else starts working... It's a keyboard so obviously it's not vital, and without the video card I can't get video anyways. I was still curious when it first happened though. My next step is asking around for a beeper, I think I know just the person to ask.

Sorry but you really should have read the Redux SECTION 7 - WARRANTY SERVICE information.

Things that should have been done before stripping the whole lot out include.

The BIOS speaker attached to the speaker header on the MB.

Swapping the GPU slots around.

Swapping the keyboard for the wired PS/2 type.

Trying the GPU in another computer or had it tested by a local tech, the latter more convenient than lugging the whole PC there.

@SwampTrash -any news?

Yes, so I replaced the video card and still no video. I'm currently in the process of replacing the motherboard with one that has error LEDS if it can't boot to bios. However I'm having a bit of trouble, the cpu fan bracket that goes on the back of my motherboard won't come off. It has 4 square objects on each end that won't come off. They look like clips but from what I've seen there's no way to unclip anything.
