My X51 won't start

I just unboxed my X51 and it doesn't start, what to do?

When I hit the start button there is a side lights quickly just gets lit then back to non lit again. No fans, no nothing except for the on-button that is still lit.

I've tried to reboot it 30 times, unplugged all cables and holding down the start button for 30s about 10 times. Uplugged the power bar and re-plugged, still nothing.

Sent from my Imac (that starts every time).

So I called technical support but no luck there. Could someone from Dell please instruct me what to do. Right now I'm thinking about returning the computer.

Hello, my name is Kalden and I have been building an alienware X51 R2 from a case I bought on ebay. The only thing the case had in it was the motherboard. I have bought an i5 quad core processor, the original graphics card, and put in a solid state drive. I have finally completed building it but when I hit the power button the sides and power button light up and I hear the fan start but within 1 to 2 seconds everything turns off. Please help me I would love to get this thing running.
