It should work with just the board, CPU + HSF, graphics card, memory. Plus you'll need to plug in power to the motherboard, and the power switch and speaker leads from the case. With all that gear in, you should at least get some kind of response from it, either via the BIOS screen or a beep warning.

If you don't get anything, try resetting the CMOS - remember you have to unplug all power to the motherboard first (if the computer is off but the PSU on it is still getting 5V passed through it). If that fails, the motherboard is dead.
