Hey guys,
It's been a while since I last posted here at SRL, but I felt that you might be able to help me with this problem:
For 2.5 years now I got a PC with the following specs:
Asus P5K-E Wifi/Ap motherboard
Intel Q6600 CPU (G0 stepping)
Asus 8800GT 512mb gfx card
Kingston HyperX PC-8500 RAM (2x1gb, NVidia certified blabla)
Samsung HD200HJ 200gb hdd (unusable due to bad sectors)
Samsung HD103UJ 1tb hdd (around a year old)
Two Brand New Samsung HD103SJ hdds (I got them few hours ago, and they were never used once)
Prolimatech Megahalem CPU cooler (rev B)
As you read my hard drive died so I got two new ones, and I decided to build them in my computer. I open my case, put them in, wire all the cables around etc. and try to fire up my pc.
My Power LED flashes once (for 0.0001ms), after that: nothing!
So I was like ok, not every computer likes four hard drives so I plugged them all out (both power and sata cable).
Still: nothing happens!
Not even the power light turns on, no case fan starts to spin, no CPU fan, just nothing, nada, noppes.
So I get fucking angry and get a screwdriver. Right now my "PC" looks like this:

From left to right: Four hard drives (3x 1tb, bottom-right is 200gb), PSU, Motherboard w/ cooler, 1gb ram module (blue thing left of gfx), videocard, casefan and a keyboard. On top of the cooler there's an MP3-player I used to check if the USB ports were still powered (they were).
Things I tried
Taking everything out of my PC except for CPU
Using reset button instead of power button for power-on
Manually connecting the power pins
Bridging the CLRTC jumper
Oh: please note that the power LED at my mobo is still turned on.
So wtf can I try? Tomorrow I'll try another PSU, but any other tips?
Gotta quit now because of empty laptop battery (seems vista has better battery-life than ubuntu, maybe because of Nouveau).
