Urgent help needed - Calling all Guru's! (new PC won't post)

OK got my new bits this morning fro OcUK - decided to put them together with bits from my shuttle.

PC7 PLUS
DFI UT SLi-D
4000+
1GB ballistix
Enermax 500w Liberty
AC Pro
Clean 200GB Spinpoint SATA2

Put it all together - the mobo lights up I pres the power on button and get literally 1 seconds worth of power, pretty much like a tiny burst, simply will not boot.

Any ideas?

To start with, try hot wireing the PSU (unwind a paper clip and touch a green and black wire together.)

Have you connected up the case speaker?

Is there something shorting out any components?

After all 3 stripe the PC to bare components and start adding in turn.

No, could this damage the PSU ?

Not Sure.

I'm already using bare min setup

I've just had a problem similar to this, and i had to rma my psu.
Try unplugging some stuff and then try a new psu if you can.

I haven't blown one doing this. I still hold the PSU at arms length when doing it though.

Edit, I realise my post count isn't very high, so to add some trust here is a post I made ages ago at another OC forum:http://tech-forums.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=87304&highlight=green+black
