Trouble with my new build.

I received all the parts today put them into the case cable managed and around 2:30 AM I finished but low and behold it didn't even post. Now before I go all return happy I would like to know exactly what the problem is. So step by step.

1.) Positive it is not the ram I touch an unpainted piece of metal before I touch anything.
2.) Could it even be a problem with the CPU as I was unboxing it I realized I had silk underwear on which has a habit of conducting static but I removed them promptly.
3.) After all the power cords were hooked up it took a little more grunting than I like to put in my video cards maybe I bent the board to far?
4.) first time I tried to get it to post the backlit keyboard was not on while plugged into the back USB port.
5.) Perhaps it has something to do with my PSU I just got home for spring break and long story short the PSU I am using was packed in with some dirty laundry maybe it was zapped and is now not giving off enough power if that is even possible.
6.) CPU was difficult to mount but from what I hear it looks like they always are.
7.) All cord were properly connected.
8.) Assembled on carpet but always grounded the board with a box.
9.) It was getting late perhaps I slipped up on my drive connection.
10.) Would not having my hard drive connected make any difference at all.
11.) All the mobo lights were on, the keyboard worked from the front case USB ports maybe I burned one of the Fugitsu solid state capacitors by the I/O area could that be why it's not posting.
12.) No strange diagnostic beeping at all.

very tired long day I took the board out disassembled it and I'll hit it back up tomorrow but the same thing will probably happen. Any help is greatly appreciated
