Hi there!
I just finished building my first system, and it's not going too well. After having everything plugged in, I turn on the power, and the only thing that happens is that the power light goes on and the fan spins up. I don't expect much further noise (the drive is SSD), but there's no video output, no beeps, no power to the (PS2) keyboard. Nothing. I'm not sure what the issue is. I've tried 6 different sticks of RAM (DDR3/1066), to of which are brand new, and no dice.
Some kind of power must be getting to the board, as the fan spins up. Unfortunately, there's no power LED on the board (micro-ITX, guess they're saving space). The 20- and 4-pin power connectors are both connected, although the 4-pin is via extension cable since what came with the power supply was so short.
Any input from the community would be awesome. I suppose full specs would be useful? Here's what I've got in there:
Thanks in advance for any help!

- The barebone I started with, sans original processor and power supply
- Celeron E3400 processor
- New Power Supply (called the system manufacturer; they said this is the strongest that is compatible with the machine).
- 8G DDR3 SDRAM 1066 from G.SKILL
- 40G SSD
Thanks in advance for any help!
