I always have problems building desktops; for some reason I can never get them to power up.
I plug in the ATX connector, fans, the messy pins for the front panel, making sure I have worked out the polarization.
When I switch on, I always get a green light on the board but nothing else will switch on, the power switch comes on momentarily and then nothing.
I end up having to take them to a store to get them wired up, any suggestions on how I keep making the same mistake is appreciated.

Bonebreaker was correct, build it on a table first then when you're happy move it into a case, make sure you didn't mess up any fans jumpers or case switches if it didn't boot. You can use a screwdriver to bridge the on/off pins for half a sec to boot on a table.
