I'm afraid to connect power now.

I was hacking up my PSone and such (attaching the 1P port with wires, desoldering crap, etc.) and I was checking stuff with my multimeterm when there seems to be a connection between the + and - spots where the power jack goes. When I connect the positive lead on my multimeter to the positive connection on the MB and the negative lead to the ground spot it reads that there's a connection with 20 OHMS resistance.
Now I'm afraid to connect power to the board because I think that means it's shorted somewhere and I may fry it. But I can't find a short anywhere.
Please help me, as I have a schedule the keep pretaining to my productivity with building this, and my folks'll have my head if I fall behind any more.

Check everything to make sure there's no shorts. If it looks good, give it some power and see what happens. There's not much else you can do.

If I was you... I would just plug it in and see if it blows up..
And if it does then atlest you had a fun time making it blow up
Oh, and if you were me then you'd not understand what you just said, with the multimeter and the thingy.

Whip out the ol' microscope and check, and if you really don't find anything on any parts that you soldered/desoldered, the resistance might just be the normal resistance that comes from going through the circuitry.
