Either way too much power is going to the monitor or there is a direct short.

Did the monitors blow as soon as you tried to boot the machine or did you see the POST?

Is everything grounded properly?

Have you rechecked the connections to the mobo?

Could a screw or something have fallen in the box while you did the work?

After the monitors blew, did you notice if the green light next to the monitor power switch was still on or not?
