Howdy,
I saw some advise, but not a specific answer here. No, you don't need
a case. In fact, if you are having problems getting it to come on, I'd
simplify as much as possible to see if it will boot. Connect a power
supply to the motherboard with RAM and the CPU and a video card if the
motherboard does not have integrated video. Disconnect everything else
and see if it will come on. Put the motherboard on a book or something
non-conductive while you run this test.
There are likely to be two power cables, with one being 20 or 24 pins
and the other being 4 pins. Be sure you have connected both of those.
Good luck,
Ralph
