Boot Problem

So I finished rebuilding my comp tonight after deciding to replace my single 120mm radiator with a double. I hooked everything up and it booted just fine into windows. I played around for a while, and noticed my network address could not be found. So I unplugged the cable modem and turned off the computer. When I went to turn it back on a minute later, nothing. Setup is a s follows:

Lian-Li PC6070
FX-53
ASUS A8V rev 2
1GB Ballistix PC4000
Geforce 6800 GT
Enermax 600W Noistaker ver 2.0
WD Raptor 74GB
Lite-on DVD-ROM
Single CCFL

Water-cooled with blocks on the video card and CPU. Two 120mm Papst fans cooling radiator (one @ 7v, 1 attached to rheostat (~7-12v)). One 80mm Adda as exaust.

At the moment, there is nothing connected to my mobo except the 20-pin ATX cable and the 4-pin auxillary connector. When the power supply is turned on, the little green indicator light on the mobo is illuminated. However, pressing the power switch on the front of the case does nothing. No additional lights (including front power light), and no beep codes. Furthermore, the PSU fans do not spin.

With the memory only and with the memory + video card, the same situation arises; no lights, no beep codes.

I think the PSU is okay because it can power up and power my 12v water pump just fine using the ATX pin jumper trick.

I have heard of the possibility of shorting the mobo on the mobo risers, but am unsure what to look for exactly. What I can say is that all connections are good to go.

I have cleared the RTC RAM by removing the battery, switching the jumper, and then replacing the battery. Any and all advice is very much appreciated.
 
The no post problem is common with the A8V Deluxe v2. Both myself and a good friend have this problem. Sometimes it will boot and others it takes 3-4 power cycles to get it up. It looks like the only fix is to RMA the board and hope you get a working one back. This is the first time I have tried a non-abit board and I am now kicking myself for it :(
