It was long ago but I was this dumbass. I kept reading online people said a fan was optional and didn't understand they meant a case fan not a CPU fan so I built everything and couldnt figure out why it wouldn't turn on. Realized fairly quickly and bought one and everything worked after that

Honestly, I am envious of you, as well as the person OP posted above. You did something - learning from whatever source you could find best; having the determination and will to go ahead and sought help perhaps knowing too well you might be ridiculed. Because for the people that know this stuff, it is trivial and not worth of botheration. So the help is not enthusiastic - but for the new doer it is so challenging.

I wish I had the energy, time and courage of you all... Maybe someday I will but until then I can only love and admire your passion.
