Hey, just bought a new computer from new egg.. yay!
but now I am putting it together...

I am average when it comes to knowing about computers. So this is why my question arises.

current hardware..

Motherboard --- DFI "LANPARTY UT 915P-T12" 915P Chipset
Processor ------ Intel LGA 775 Pentium 4 530 3.0 GHz, 800MHz FSB
Ram ----------- Kingston HyperX Series Dual Kits 184 Pin 1GB DDR PC-3700
Hardrive ------- Seagate 120GB Barracuda 7200RPM SATA II
CPU Fan ------- ZALMAN CNPS7000B-Cu Copper CPU

Right now I have the power supply plugged into the mobo, and the case fans plugged into the power supply also. The cpu fan is also mounted onto the cpu.

I know that you can power on the computer and the fans should start spinning. and the computer boot into bios. I have no video card installed.

But this is not hte case for me, I press the power button on the computer and nothing happens.

Well something does happen in a sense. as soon as I plug the power cable into the power supply my zalmon starts spin at a relatively low rpm.
But like I said, I press the power button on the caes and nothing else happens.

Is my mobo fried?
Maybe the power cable from the power supply to the mobo isnt seated right?
I checked this, it seems to be really closed to being seated, but I know if i press any harder my mobo will crack.
But even if it this is the case, it seems wierd that i have power to spin my zalmon.

Ummm. lost. Please help..
