is the cpu power plug plugged into the mainboard?
sounds stupid but i do it all the time 
also your ram could stop it from booting up to.if you have 2 sticks try it with each of them on their own.
maybe the power plug for the hdd isnt in right?

Happened to me before when i transprted my PC to uni, i just needed to reset the bios (see mobo instructuions for where the jumper is) think the mobo battery must of disconnected on the journey somewhere
TP
P.S. make sure you've def plugged everything in properly, especially the power button lead  if litterally nothing is happening (i.e. processor fan doesn't even switch on) _________________
