I built my first computer in college with a friend helping me. It didn't turn on, and we spent 3 days troubleshooting, switching out components (including the power supply) until we realized that the outlet we were plugging into was on a switch. We felt like morons

Not the best idea to plug it directly into the socket either, unless your home has surge protection built in. Dunno if that's even a thing.

Ideally plug it in to a UPS with an isolated circuit so that it acts as a surge protector, filter, and battery backup.
