A good place to start is checking how you connected the power on switch on the case to the mobo. Your mobo manual should have a diagram of how the connectors are set up and which connectors go where. Big mistake I made doing those connections is connecting the various pins vertically rather than in a horizontal mode. Carefully look at the drawings. If that doesn't do it, let us know, but I'll bet the farm those aren't right.

I've been to the ASUS website and followed the troubleshooting instructions and I've searched the Antec site for help - nothing found that addresses this predicament. Any ideas how I could systematically troubleshoot this?
