That's what I thought too, but I tried turning it on w/ the mobo inside the case, without screws and no workie.

Get this.. just tried to turn on the computer w/ the mobo assembled outside of the case, and the PSU inside the case.. it worked..

So as it was still on, I tried to put the mobo in the case, AND IT TURNS OFF MID AIR!!

might have touched the inside wall of the case with my mobo... but either way.. wtf is going on?
