System boots for 1 second, cpu fan spins, system shuts off, repeat.

Wow.. It's uh.. It's running. I'll have to hook it up to a monitor and stuff, but it looks like it was a case short..

That being the case (heh) how am I going to be able to mount it back in, was I simply not doing it right? (I've done it before..)

the easy thing is check your stand off, does it sit right
or you can add some non conductive sheet behind your board to prevent any short

check if you have added all bronze spacers for mb.
for every hole in mb there should be coresponging spacer.

Alright.. now it's whirring up, it's not shutting off after 1 second like it used to, it does seem to be restarting after maybe a couple seconds of the fans whirring though, there's a beep code of just.. constant, rapid beeps. Nothing displaying on either video card I tried.

continuous beeps is usually bad memory or a bad PCI card do you have a modem or sound card plugged into it? Are you still outside of the case?

you put everthing back in case?
