PC won't power up - no fans, but power LED lights

The only thing that shows life is the power LED. Besides the power supply, are there any other possible causes? I've thought of a short (the risers the MB rests on are metal, but they appear to be lined up properly). Also, does the CMOS battery supply power to the power LED? Seems strange that...- Ghost072
