Not too much strange here. Somewhere you are shorting the motherboard to
the new case. Most ot the time if there is a short , especially on the
power wires/traces, the computer will not come on. Check very carefully
that nothing on the mother board is touching the case that should not be.

Thanks I will give that a shot.Appreciate the quick response.
