Sell the mobo repair was needed since we broke it during testing. I just bought a new corsair psu.
Wow computerwhizii, I thought you would know better than that. The first step to troubleshoot a powerless PC is to inspect the PSU first, not RMA'ing the motherboard

Judging from your post history you know a good deal about computers but unfortunately everyone makes mistakes. Therefore I am forced to ask: Did you use standoffs?
Yes.
Then it's probably your CPU or GPU since basically everything else is new. I'm assuming you put new thermal paste on the CPU after getting a new motherboard.

Got the new CPU, put it in, hooked up the new PSU. Nothing. Out of desperation I pulled the second of RAM. It booted.

I can't just ship one, they need both. The misery continues.
Oh shit all that and it was a ram stick? FFFFUUUU.jpg to the max!
I had something near to this. I was so near just giving up and then I found that the HDD IDE cable had one mini cable snapped. At least you got it solved.
Hey guess what since I still haven't RMA'd the RAM I'm running off one stick for now. And I also found out that my G11 is fucked. Yay me.
