Bad news

I came back from my holiday to the delivery of my shiny new Corsair. It's a fantastic looking piece of hardware.

Anyway connected it up, hit the power switch and got exactly the same response as I had with my old PSU. That is a slight click, the faintest of nudges from the fan then nothing. So far I have only tried it with just the drives disconnected from the mobo (ie the graphics, sound and memory etc still connected) but as the result is exactly the same as before I'm not anticipating any different response when I test it with the mobo stripped down to just 2 sticks of RAM.

I will try it later and report back but in the meantime if you can suggest where I might go next that would be a great help. I guess it's sounding more likely that my mobo or CPU are fried though.
