Troubleshooting a dead homebrew system

Help me to troubleshoot a friend's homebrew system. It is not powering up. No fans, no beep, no HD spin up, nothing. The only sign of life is an LED on the mobo. So how can I tell if the culprit is the power supply or mobo? My suspicion is the power supply, even with a bad mobo, I could at least expect the fans to run. Right? It has been too long since I have worked on computers at the component level, so my troubleshooting skills are a little rusty.
