Swapped the power plugs round in case it's the socket not working, and NOTHING

Two minutes sweating, close to tears, then I remember: this PSU has an on/off switch, unlike my current PC. Changing that setting had a profound effect.

Seems to have found the stuff I connected in. Now I'm going to take a break, then connect up the USB ports, other HDD etc, then finally - install windows.

I feel soooooo much better than I did 15 mins ago !!!
phew - the thought of all that money & it not working

- glad it is looking ok, now, though, - at the risk of sounding patronising, well done
