    no, it seems that the case just isnt getting any power. I should be able to just plug it in and turn it on out of the box correct?

    no motherboard in it yet. Its just a case & psu. I just wanted to make sure the lights and everything worked in it. But I cant get anything to power up. http://www.xoxide.com/vtechcase4.html that is the case.

    without the motherboard plugged to the psu, the psu won't power up as you have an incomplete circuit. front power switch is connected to the motherboard which is connected to the psu which is connected to the wall plug.

    forumcrew, with you asking that question, I think that you should have someone give you a hand with building the computer.

    No Joke! Dont bother building a PC by yourself, youd probably end up shorting out he board and breaking the CPU with your knowledge. Go get a guide or something if you plan on doing it by yourself.
