Seems like everything is wired right on the board, what is it that is giving you problems?

Wasen't a joke actually, theres no F6 drivers or anything silly like that for Vista, so its all straight forward.
What errors are you getting.
Whats wrong with the assembling? If everything is plugged in, turning on, and your getting a display with no errors, whats crashing/stopping the Vista install?
this is the message of error
and this is when the installation stopped first.... the screen was black only the lcd posted had something written on...

Please post what components you have bought.
Does the thing POST (Power On Self-Test)?
Can you access the BIOS?
It may be that your dominator ram needs more voltage applying via the BIOS.

Just about to post about the RAM voltage
See what Voltage your RAM is rated at, as you may have to up the volatage manually in the bios.

i checked, it was on auto, probably tomorrow I will go in a shop close to my house and ask them to format the hd because at the moment I can barely access the bios.
i will take out one slot of ram (it it a corsair dominator 2x2GB, quite demanding actually...) and install vista, then I will increase the voltage for the ram and put the other one.
can you install vista with 2GB in ?
Yes, Vista will install fine with just the 2GB stick in, then you should be able to add it in later.
You should be able to format the HD yourself, while VISTA is installing, no need to go out and spend £10 or so for someone to do what you could do at your house to be honest.
I personally would see if it works with just the 2GB stick, if it does, then carry on installing...If it does not work with just the one 2GB stick, go into the BIOS, and change the voltage manually to its set rating.
Had a quick look on the OcUK site, there are two type of Dominator ram there, so setting the RAM to 1.8 / 1.9 volts respectively would be a nice start.

I'm pretty good with cables and basic assembling. My only problem is that sometimes when the components are a bit more complex I lose my mind....
Almost always works better just to show people how to do it themselves! This thread is a good example - merdarion was ready to pay someone else to do it, but with a bit of advice and encouragement he sorted it out himself. Now he'll know for his next build - plus he can help others in the same situation. Teach a man to fish, and all that
