    Well, it's been about two years since I've built a computer, so i was a bit rusty assembling this new build.
    Okay, so it won't boot up after assembling it and whatnot.

    The power supply is plugged into the wall
    Power supply is on
    24pin is connected to the mono
    8pin is connected to the CPU

    I checked my motherboards manual and I believe I have the front panel connector hooked up properly

    Specs:
    And fx6100
    Corsair h60 CPU cooler
    8gbs of corsair xms3
    500gb hitachi desktar
    Corsair cx750 power supply
    Zalman z9 case
    Asus m5a97 mobo


    Any ideas what the booting up problem could be?
    It doesn't beep at all, and no fans turn on.
    All hail Neon Genesis !

    Rip out the front panel headers, get a screwdriver and touch the pwr+ and pwr- with the steel end, if it still doesn't boot, take everything out of the case and assemble it.

    Thanks, it started up fine, and I'm installing windows now, I'll handle the front panel in the morning :p
