I'm embarrassed to report that I've just completed the hardware build (using all the parts exactly as described) and am facing the ultimate newby nightmare: computer not turning on. I'm turning the power supply on and pushing the on button at the top of the case, but getting nothing and hearing nothing (no power supply fan or anything). I've carefully gone over all the cables that attach to the motherboard, and I'm quite sure I've plugged everything in. The only orphan plugs are a Phantek multi-color LED strip plug (which I think is optional) and a 12V input on the side of the case opposite the motherboard and at a 12V power input on the motherboard side of the case, which I believe are optional and related to the fan. What can I be doing wrong? Is it possibly a bad power supply?
