My sucky luck...

Well I bought some computer components to make myself a new computer with the following specifications:

P4 2.8GHz
512DDR400 PC3200 RAM
128MB ATI Radeon 9000
etc...

and its not booting up -_-

I tried everything and came to the conclusion that i might have messed up the motherboard. Do you think this can mess it up:

There were some extra spacers making contact with the motherboard where there arent supossed to. (yeah this was my first time and i didnt take the spacers seriously -_-)

Also the other PC somehow stopped working yesterday, I think its the motherboard too. Ughhhh

Did you see or smell smoke?
Are you getting any POST beeps?

From the sounds of things you may have shorted the board?
Good Luck!

PS
Whenever possible use plastic stantions. I usually only use one or 2 brass stantions for grounding the board as in all reality its grounded through the Power Supply and PCI/AGP cards.
