Hello,
I just bought a A8N SLI Deluxe and connected it to a Antec 330w PSU. I
could not get the machine to start. I do not see the fans turning. I
only see the mobo LED on but not the case LED. I conected the power
using the 20 pin connector from my PSU and the 4 pin near the CPU. Any
suggestions?

It would help to have more details. What do you have for a video card, RAM,
drives, etc?
Did you make sure that the case power switch is plugged into the correct
pins on the motherboard?

That's exactly what you would expect to see until/unless you push the
'power on' switch on the case (which you need to have hooked up to the
motherboard). It is just a 'momentary contact' switch, so you can also
short the two correct pins, or use the reset switch (attached to the
power switch header on the motherboard!) instead (in case the switch is
faulty).
