The power switch is connected to the motherboard...and the whole turn on circuit is an extremely low-powered and shouldn't burn anything.

More likely than not, your motherboard is grounded to the case. Did you use standoffs when you screwed it in?

Well you'll need a replacement PSU first, can't really test anything without a working PSU.

And, you know, take out the motherboard and put it in with standoffs.

Take a paper clip and touch it to both the pins that the power switch plugs in to on the motherboard.

But first, install the motherboard with standoffs. The back of the motherboard should not be touching the case. Things are connected that aren't supposed to be connected.
