Don't forget about the PSU ;) Yes, the bare build is mobo, one stick of ram, cpu, cooler, power switch cable, 8-pin and 24-pin PSU cables. Fans other then those from cooler may be connected of not, does not matter. Monitor connected to motherboard. And that's all required to successfully boot machine and reach BIOS. If that does not happen,one of the connected components is not working.

That only tells you that motherboard gets power. Way not enough to consider it 'workable' yet.

Make sure you have all cables connected, especially 8-pin on top of motherboard.

There are 4 leds just above 24-pin connector on motherboard. Is any of them stay lit when booting up?
Can you hear pump working?

but it doesn't answer why even the case fans are not spinning. I'm currently at work but once I get home I will make sure everything is 100% plugged in. The whole situation just doesn't make sense though. I know the fans work because I did the paper clip method and they all turned on. Mabey that can help you figure out the problem.

ok, the 8 and 24 pin are fully in and it's still doing the same thing. Should I take pics or what? I'm so confused and worried about my system right now. Plz help
 
You are not making that any easier. Listen, I'm not writing about some random lights on motherboard that are there for fun only. I'm talking about 4 debug LEDs located just above 24 pin connector. Check your motherboard manual if you can't locate them. I need to know which ones of them light up, for how long, in what order, which one stays lit (if any). Without that info I'm unable to help you.
