I made the mistake of taking apart an old computer and putting it back together. i wanted to gain that experience so that when I come to building my own box from scratch I will understand how. Well I took everything apart and cleared all the dust, and then i put it back together and to my sunrise...it didn't work. I took another look inside all looked for mistakes but couldn't find anything. I did see that I had put the led light cables on the wrong spot on the mobo so I fixed it and tried again. Nothing. So I was wondering if someone could give me a checklist of things that could have gone wrong. When I pres the power button i don't even get a beep. All wires are plugged in. I did remove the fan from the heat sink over the CPU and then put it back in. Could I have messed something up? I have never seen the latching mechanism for the heat sink so maybe it isn't secured. I appreciate the help.

No, I did it on a hard wood floor.
Again, I am not a noob. |

Man, you probably don't even know the difference between x86 and x64.
