Ping to the Queen of Computer Tech....

So I got all the parts to my computer hooked up (I think). I can't install anything until I get a monitor but I wanted to be sure it worked, so I plugged it in, flipped the switch and... nothing. What is the most likely thing I've done wrong?

I checked all the power connectors, they look fine. Since there's a case fan, that at the very least should start, no?

Okay ... first turn the power switch off, and see if you have a voltage switch on the power supply. It would probably be a red rocker switch. If you have such a beastie, unplug the power cord and flip the switch a few times; make sure it winds up on 110v.

If you don't have a voltage switch, unplug all the Molex connectors, and the m/b connectors, and then power up again. Does the power supply fan come on?
