I am using a Cooler Master Centurion CAC -T05 http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16811119068
My motherboard is a DFI DK P35 T2RS http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16813136043

I have built computers before, and when I powered this one on, I only got a blue Power-on light on the front of the case, but nothing else on. No fans spinning, no signs of life anywhere on the motherboard. The HDD and DVD drive are correctly plugged in both for sata and power, and so is the video card. I have built PCs before, so I am sure everything else is connected correctly, but the power button connections to the motherboard could technically be incorrect, but I am unsure. Has anyone had a problem like this, where the case shows a steady power on light but no other activity? Could the power supply be semi-busted, I do after all get a light? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I figure either the mobo or the case is DOA.
thanks a lot

I had a similar problem to this that was a bear to troubleshoot. It turned out to be some of the front case controls were incorrectly plugged in because I looked at the cable labels instead of determining pin one for each.
