Have you tried turning it on with the bare minimums? CPU, motherboard, RAM, PSU? Tested each stick of RAM individually in each slot? Tested components outside of the case?
If you want to avoid the fee, I think ME has no restocking fee, so you can buy the cheapest compatible CPU/motherboard combo there available to test.

Tried resetting everything and booting w/ onboard instead of discrete GPU
not plugging in HD, resetting CMOS, etc
unfortunately only have 1 stick of DDR4 ram. (All my other PC are using DDR3)
I am in Ontario, no ME here
btw, if I tried booting w/o the ram, i get the same "fan spin 1 sec" symptom
If i try booting w/o the CPU, basically nothing happens. Light won't even come on, and fan won't spin.
Does this sounds more like a ram problem?
Btw Spec are
Asus Z170i Pro Gaming
i7-6700K
1x Kingston HyperX 16GB DDR4
COrsair 450W PSU
Samsung SSD & GTX960 (wouldn't boot even if these 2 aren't plugged in tho)
