Problems With Computer I'm Building For A Friend

So i put together the computer on friday, was a bitch to put together as I had some problems installing the motherboard, it didn't seem to fit right, and there was some differences with the Standoffs that came with the case, but i got it to fit, it was just a lot of fiddling, installer the CPU, then put on the backplate, and screwed on the CPU Water Cooler Kit.

Building a computer

The rest of the build went relatively smoothly, the RAM and the Graphic card fit in pretty easily, but the Cable management was sort of a bitch, as the case i had chosen did not have very much room in the back for hiding the cables, and the PSU was not a modular one as I am used to, but i got everything to fit.

So when i had gotten everything together and I plugged it in and tried to turn the bloody thing on..... Nothing, no sounds, no lights, no clicks, nothing. Completely dead, or so i imagine anyways, my suspicion is either that i did not connect the power button correctly, or that the PSU itself was DOA.

I will do more testing today, and if the PSU is in fact dead, I'll send it back and get a replacement.
