New PC not working...

I just built a new pc but it would turn on, or light up, i have not plugged in a monitor yet, but i think the problem is that i am missing the "reset switch" cable which i have not found in my case, plus a "reserved", whatever that means, is not there also.

 

Could this be the problem or is it just my terrible cable management and stupidity?

tried both, i and o, currently on o

 You want it to be on I in order for it to recieve power. Keep it on O when you are working inside the case.
