Beep codes

I recently got a new case and made the move over. I was disappointed to find out that the machine would not POST inside this new case.

I have removed the motherboard from the case, reseated the cooler and I am trying to make it boot on a cardboard box (the one that my gfx card came in.)

I have stripped the machine down to the minimals (Mobo, CPU, HS, RAM and GFX.) I have also attatched a speaker from my old case to the mobo to hear beep codes. I managed to get 2 beep codes out of the machine by clearing the CMOS. The first was 1 long, 3 short. The second was 3 short which almost sound like 1. Does anyone know what these beeps codes are and what I can do about them? Google hasn't offered much help on this one.

My specs are as follows:
Asus P5W DH Deluxe
Intel Q6700
2GB 1066MHz Crucial Ballistix
1KW Enermax Galaxy
BFG 980GX2.
 
OK, so how would you go about sorting this out? I can only get this beep code immediately after I have reset the CMOS. After these beeps I have to power off at the wall and then the next time I power up the fans just spin unless I clear the CMOS again.
