So this might be a ridiculous question to you guys, but I'm very tired running out of options, and just plain can't think straight right now. I've got a 450 watt ATX PSU, and a Micro ATX board. Everything plugs in fine, and I've got good readings on my multimeter from the jumpers on the board. So my question is this... Why won't it turn on? Is it just simply that the 2 aren't compatible or am I looking at a bigger problem?

ATX PSU should work just fine w/ micro ATX mobo....

That's what I thought. Maybe I just have a bad board. Doesn't make much sense though since I can get good voltage readings on the jumpers for the switches (pwr and reset) and also for the led's. I'll just RMA it.

Well, I figured it out. There was a jumper they didn't tell me about in the book, and I resorted to calling their "tech support" for help. It's online now, and I just gotta wait for the RAM to get here next week. Not doing much custom other than a switch for my CCFL's, and hiding a few wires. It's going to be my Sister's computer. Maybe I'll post pics.
