Hi. I'm assembling a home built PC (standard stuff, athlon 64 x2, msi
atx motherboard, etc). When I push the power button, the fans spin
(including the cpu fan which attaches to the motherboard) and the dvd
drive works (opens up anyway), but nothing comes on the monitor and
none of the LED indicators on the front of the case light up.

Any help?

It could be 1 of many or a combo of several problems. Make sure the
monitor works and it is attached to the video connection properly. My
first guess would be the memory. When you first start the machine does
it beep? How many beeps? You stated that you are "assembling a home
built PC". What is the model number of the board? What kind of memory
are you using? Is everything new?
As far as the LED indicators go I would check and make sure you have
the connectors for the case properly plugged into the board.
