No fans, not even CPU fan, no beeps, no screen, just a the CLR button is lit

Hm, you wrote in your first post about how your fan just spin a bit, and I thought you may have same problem as I did.

Sorry to say, but your fans look nasty, blow some compressed air through fans. Sometimes dust on motherboard itself can cause a short circuit.

has he built it outside the case yet?

You skipped this.  Your pictures look like the board is still in the case.  Have you taken it out and ran it yet?

Have you tried booting without the GPU?

Make sure you have sound connected to the motherboard to hear if it posts cuz sometimes that could be a problem.

I had that happened to me, it would power one, fans move once and then everything stops. In my case my CPU died.
If motherboard is dead it wouldn't even turn anything on and wouldn't have a light on it.
If RAM is dead, the CPU fan would still be spinning. Also if its a power supply test it with the paper clip by itself.

fan twitch with no POST is a dead short somewhere, the PSU is crowbaring to protect itself

build the system up outside the case in a minimum config...nothing but PSU, MOBO, CPU, VGA, and 1 stick of RAM, report back POST or no POST
This has been suggested a few time already, same thing

yes, I see, thanks

has he built it outside the case yet?

Yeah its a short which makes it one of the harder things to diagnose. Your vrm's on your motherboard or video card can be stuck open causing it to look like a short. Running more than one gpu on each power supply lead can even cause shorts in the wiring itself from damaging the connectors. Fallen screws can cause shorts. Who knows what else could have happened? So if you could borrow another power supply that's the best solution. Honestly I think its best to have an extra one around just in case. A high quality 400w power supply should only cost you 40 dollars or so and the nice thing is it can save you from having a down system

well then the only last thing I can suggest if you feel capable you can test power supply without it connected to anything by shorting out PS-on pin to ground and testing the voltage with a multi meter but its more than likely the motherboard but that would be the only way to know for sure without another power supply to test

The fans spinning for a fraction of a second is almost always either a bad motherboard or a short wire somewhere.

^This!

Make sure there isn't anything shorting anywhere.  ...this includes BEHIND the motherboard against the case.  Check for screws or anything else metallic behind the board.

Epicblood go down my list and tell me where you get stuck and I will be glad to help you. You may get bombarded with replies here and doing them in the incorrect order may not tell us for sure what the issue is
I have tried everything short of replacing parts (don't have any extras)

Try this, (*maybe someone else already suggested this) unplug your power supply from the wall and then remove your CMOS battery. leave it for a few minutes. put the CMOS back in and power back up.

Do you know the model number of your motherboard? some models don't beep when they POST.
