oh yeah and the other devices such as my dvd and hd do power up, and I heard my hd rotate. but the leds on the dvd don't light up meaning I guess no output either.

Take everything out (carefully) and then put it back together(carefully). When you do it...forget everything you did the first time, try not to just copy your procedure of installing stuff. that will lead you to making the same mistake you already made, unintentionally. I would just start by putting in the cards such as vid sound and nic then put in the hard drive floppy and cd rom. Make sure its all connected right with ide cables in the right spots and everything. Hook your hard drive to your led. Reassembling often solves many problems. If you get too frustrated go to bed. I have messed my computer up so bad thinking i would have to buy new components, only to think of a new idea the next day and fix everything.!!! dont worry be HAPPY

its worth the 60 bucks to take it to the pros if all else fails, especially since this is a top of the line tbird which you dont want to mess up, since its your first shot at assembling.

That "fixin a jumper for raid" has me worried. When you got the board, the default settings should have gotten you at least up and running. If you changed anything on your board, check with your manual and make sure everything is in the default settings.
