I had the weirdest build issue I've ever seen. I was rebuilding a system for someone and 2 different motherboards (different types) and 2 PSUs simply wouldn't run. If you pushed the power button the system would turn on and immeadiate (~30ms) shut off. I even hooked up a different power button to verify that wasn't the problem. Is it possible that the chassis was warped and that the metal was touching the bottom of the mobo and somehow screwing things up? It didn't look like it was, but I really can't explain this one.
