what brand and wattage power supplies have you tried
set it up out of the case on a piece of cardboard with
cpu
video
ram
speaker
and see if you get post
check you have the correct amount of standoffs no more no less
that they line up with the holes in the m/board
usually 9

tried just a bog standard atx 400w power supply and a VCool one same wattage from Maplins. tried it out of the comp too on cardboard, and nowt. i think it may be a deadend.
