Hey everyone. My father recently purchased the barebones kit seen here:

I put it together for him today, keep in mind I have built 4 computers before this and have never had a problem, and this was a barebones kit so I thought it would be even easier! My problem is that I put everything together and when I plugged it in, the computer started up but I had no picture on the screen. I went through everything I could think of, took the battery out of the motherboard and replaced it some time later, nothing. I took the graphics card out and just went with the on board graphics, nothing. Reseated the CPU, nothing. Pulled out the RAM, no beeping or anything before OR after I did that. I'm stumped. It doesn't seem to be the power supply because all the fans and everything work. One thing I noticed is that even though the motherboard has a 4-pin 12V CPU connector, the power supply does not have a 4-pin connector, I assume this isn't an issue because the comments on TigerDirect don't mention anyone having that problem. HELP!
