I recently purchased a bunch of components from Newegg with which to build my first custom rig. Against my peers' better judgment, I opted for the relatively cheap Raidmax 630w PSU. Specifically, I was advised to avoid that manufacturer all together, but I countered by bringing to light the numerous sterling reviews of the particular product I was eyeballing. You can find it, along with said reviews, here:

After many hours of work, I managed to assemble my unit. My friends tell me that everything appears to be connected properly. I took some shoddy pictures of my work, you can view them here:

I've got a big problem, however. When I try to power up the PC, the case's rear fan flinches for a second, and then I get nothing. The PSU's LED does not turn on, and there are no other signs that the computer has actually started to run. Basically, it would appear that I get a very short burst of power before the PSU ceases to function. Halp?
Other things worth noting:
- The voltage switch is set to 115v, not 230v. I live in North America.
- The rear switch on the PSU is set to "1" instead of "0"
- I've firmly connected both the P20 and P4 power leads into the motherboard.
- I've tried another outlet.
Finally, here are all the pieces that make up my build:
Intel Core i7-2600 Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 2000
GIGABYTE GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB)
RAIDMAX HYBRID 2 RX-630SS 630W ATX12V V2.2/ EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Modular Modular LED Power Supply
Rosewill CHALLENGER-U3 Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
I appreciate any support you guys can give. This issue is urgent, as the PSU only has a 30-day return policy. Thanks.
