The lights turn on and everything, i just dont know what cd to stick in first....like the motherboard cd first? Or the hard drive cd first? YOu knwo what i mean?
If you have fitted it all together and it boots then you should go into the bios, set the boot order so that the cd-rom drive is first, then restart, put the Xp disk in then you should be able to go through the install procedure.

well if it powers up and you get the boot screen, press DEL to enter the bios and set the 1st boot device to cd-rom to start with.

hard drive cd?!??!?!?! :-\
run the windows cd first and install that (or whatever OS you're using, i'm assuming it'll be an itereation of windows), then the motherboard cd.
as for the hard drive, i've never heard of them having a cd before. ever.

I hit delete button.....nothing happens....
do you get a screen of white text when you turn the machine on?
no, just a blank black screen i think i messed up on some wiring or something?
ok, are you sure you connected the motherboard correctly?
there's a large connector from the psu to the motherboard and a smaller 4-pin connector as well.
also, remove and replace your graphics card, just to be sure the monitor is getting signal. if the motherboard is correctly wired then you should be seeing the boot screen.
