Hello, I'm having an issue with my new case.
===========================================================================
The case is a Corsair Spec 02
LINK: https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Carbide-SPEC-02-Tower-Gaming/dp/B00I0MKMG2
My motherboard model is MIB75R/MH_SG
Manual: http://downloads.dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_inspiron_desktop/inspiron-660_owner%27s%20manual_en-us.pdf
====================================================================================
My rig booted up just fine in the previous case but when I moved it to the new case it would turn on for 3 seconds then power down.
The motherboard is not fried as I moved the mobo back to the old case and it worked just fine
I've screwed the standoffs in all parts of the mobo.
The case has stripped standoffs, I covered them in electrical tape in the event that was causing a short.
Both fans are connected and powered.
I tried putting mobo ontop of cardboard incase it was touching the case or there was a grounding issue, nothing.
I've reduced it down to two possible things, the case is defective or my mobo isn't compatible with the mobo.
Tried changing outlets.
All components are set up correctly.
24 pin connector is in
CPU connector is in.
Ram stick is in.
Hard drive is connected.
Power button is connected.
Fan is connected.
One thing I've noticed is that the power button connector on the new case has 9 pins and previous case had 11 pins.
Before you say it's a hardware issue, its not otherwise it wouldn't have booted in the old case.

Please provide your input any and all replies are appreciated.
