Okay, so I recently bought a case, and it came with a PSU as a combo deal. They arrived today and I wanted to test them out, so I plugged the fans into the PSU, plugged the whole thing into an outlet, and turned it on. Nothing. I tried unplugging everything except the PSU, because maybe I had it wired wrong. Again, I got nothing. I plugged everything in and changed the voltage, and nothing happened, so I unplugged everything YET AGAIN, and kept the new voltage. Nothing. I tried hooking it up again and the using the case's power butto, which I guess is dumb because the motherboard or OS controls how that works, I think.

Now, I don't know if being outside for 2 hours at 20 Fahrenheit would do anything, but I doubt it muchly. This isn't mentioned in the manual, and the PSU's fan should at least turn on when there's nothing else plugged in, but all 3 fan settings failed.

Now, here's a possibility that I really don't want, but will throw out there. I have another PC that I can plug this PSU into and see if it works, but that will be a 15-minute pain in the neck to do, and if it doesn't work I really would just want to punch a kitten. But there was something in the manual about a minimum voltage output, and I thought maybe it has to have a certain amount of hardware, requiring that much power, plugged in to make it work? Also, for my fans and the LED gauges in the front of the case, there are in plugs from the PSU and what looks like out plugs. I didn't use these because some only have 2 wires to the out plugs and it's, quite simply, complicated.

I don't feel comfortable about opening something that could kill me if I do it wrong (PSU), like the guy in one of the PSU reviews did, but returning it would be a real big pain because I really don't have the money to ship back in an RMA along with my HDD.
