I don't get this the psu twin fans are spinning the HD wires into life and the rest of the pc works fine.
I've tried with Ram out and only single sticks. I've removed all unneeded stuff from it... I am totally and utterly baffled.

Here's a thought: try turning it off [including on the PSU if it has a switch, otherwise unplug], then take the graphics card out, & try powering on the machine again. If the card's toast then it should give you some sort of error beep, if it stays silent my money would be on the motherboard or PSU.
This might not work, but if it doesn't beep without the card, try it with the HD disconnected [both data & power wires], as well as anything else [except for essential fans], so it's just mobo, CPU, & RAM. If it beeps then my guess would be the PSU is the culprit. If it still doesn't beep, it still could be the PSU, but without testing with another 1 I don't think there's a way to be 100% certain.

If it was the monitor he'd hear his system beep when it POSTs.
