Before you power it on again, did you use thermal paste when you installed the heatsink to the CPU? If it's a high-powered chip, this can be crucial to make sure you dont overheat and burn out the core.
Assuming the key components are working (motherboard, RAM, CPU and video card if there's one installed) then disconnect everything else and see what happens. If you can get a boot screen (you know, the old black and white memory check) then you know the board and processor are good. If you can't get that, reset the bios (read the motherboard manual to find out how), go down to one stick of RAM, and try to use the onboard video if there is one. If it still won't work, either something is fitted incorrectly or there's a damaged component.
