Newly built system doesn't start up

HELP ME! MY NEWLY BUILT COMP DOESN'T START UP!

I got the FAR Soyo case w/ 350W PS and the other ECS mobo and Athlon combo also at Fry's. This is my first time at building a computer, so I might have missed something. I have the PS connected to the mainboard, the hard drive, the processor fan and the CD drive. When I turn the power on, nothing happen ---- Did I miss something? Do I have to any jumper setting or adjustment to the mobo?

The HIGHLY TECHNICAL forum is not for troubleshooting.

This is _OFF TOPIC_, as it's midly technical, not highly technical :>, listen up:

In order of likelyhood:

*Check that you have the front power on button plugged into the right place in the motherboard, it's easy to get it wrong.
*Check in the manual the CMOS jumper isn't set to "reset".
*Check against the manual that all cables are in the right way.
*Pull everything non-essential out (that is, ONLY power the mobo), and try.

One of those should do it.
