Its a bit odd that swapping case and fan on a working board would kill
it, so:

- Does the Pi come up if you switch back to the original case and fan?

- I assume you've looked for debris/shorts etc in the new case, but have
  you taken a multimeter to the new fan unit to look for wiring and/or
  soldering errors? If not, that's probably worth doing.
