Hi,

Got my new build on Tuesday this week but only got around to getting it all setup today.
Pre-built by OCUK, system as below - one change was to a 550W PSU.

Cannot see anything obvious unless there's a secret power switch somewhere I can't find.
Couple of things though - all done before first power on.

First when I first picked it up the top panel came off slightly - as far as I can see the connections are still OK as there looks to be plenty of slack there.
Second I put in my additional drives - 6 in total, connected the SATA cables and power.

I'm not getting any signs of life at all, no fans no LEDs, nothing.
Any ideas?

May have to drop it into the shop in the morning - I'm not too far away fortunately.

Thanks
 
Once many years ago I flipped the voltage switch on a friends PC and let the magic smoke out! Luckily the CPU and m/board survived!

No luck with my build, will call into the shop in the morning and hope it's nothing too expensive!
 
Took it back to the shop on Saturday, just waiting now for them to get back to me.
I'm sure it was all tested before sent out - QA sheet all filled in and trust them that it was done, not like other places :-)

Could be in transit or my fat fingers

Hoping it's something (a) really obvious/simple and (b) not too expensive
 
Turns out it was a faulty motherboard - replaced that and replacement PSU as a precaution.

Up and running now and a lovely machine - almost silent, so much better than my old noisy machine!

No more Haribo though - SAD - but excellent service by OCUK>
