No display on boot, Fan spins, DVD drive door opens

I have delicately put together and taken apart the Customac Mini three times in the last 24 hours. No display to my TV monitor (HDMI to HDMI cable).

My Customac Mini Build:

* Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H87N-WIFI
* PCU: Intel i3-4360
* Cooler: Thermaltake Slim X-3
* RAM: Ballistic 8 GB 1600Mhz DDR3
* Drive: Samsung 120 GB SSD
* Case: APEX MI-008
* Wifi-Card: TP Link PCI Express
* DVD: OptiARC DVD Burner

Now I am thinking it could be my parts? Does this sound like a bad motherboard? Everything else came brand new but the GA-H87N-WIFI's I could only find refurbished.

Would test it on a different monitor and with a different cable first just to be sure.

If it still doesn't POST, then yes, my money would be on the motherboard.

I took the computer to my university and plugged it into the DVI port. No signal.

Say it isn's so!!! I have never returned anything to Amazon.

Any one else have a similar experience?

Amazon are pretty decent if you're in the 30 day period.

You could also go the RMA route with Gigabyte.
