Ok, I'll try to make this quick. I built my own computer this week that contains:

-Asus Striker Extreme 680i sli ATX Mobo
-BFG NVIDIA Geforce 8800 GTS OC 512MB video card
-4x1G Corsair DDR2 Dominator RAM
-Intel C2Q Quad Q6600 Processor
-BFG 800w ATX 12V 2.2/EPS 12V 2.91 SLI PS
-Kandalf ATX liquid cooling case(water block cools CPU)
-Hitachi 1Tb Sata hard DRIVE 7200rpm
-OS is Windows XP w/sp2
-20" HP widescreen lcd DVI monitor

After hours of double-checking connections and assembly, I plugged it in to the wall on the counter I was working on. All fans were running and liquid was flowing. I'm feeling d**n proud of myself, so I hook it to my desktop, only to have my monitor read "no signal". I shut it down, checked the video card connection, plugged the monitor in to a different port. When I tried to power back on, NOTHING! The only thing on were the LITTLE lights around the perimeter of the Mobo.

Please help! I don't want to take it anywhere but I do have a lot of money wrapped up in it. I'm almost too afraid to do anything else to it but I have a feeling I may need to do an RMA or two. Thanks!!!!
