Hey guys another problem, as I'm getting desperate. I have a Rosewill 600 watt power supply (

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811146018) with this motherboard. After putting my Zalman 9500 and cpu in, I tried wiring up the hdd led, p-, p+ and all those other wires using the "Q-connector". I pluged in the 20+4 pin and the 12v 4 pin into the motherboard just to see if everything was going ok. I plugged the power supply into the outlet and I'm pushing the power button, but nothings turning on.
I also have the extra wires phile mentioned, the audio from the front of the case as well as these other wires I've never seen before. They have the tag CPU, HDD, and SYSTEM on them but they don't have any sort of "head". They're just a thinned piece of copper on the end. I'm not sure where they go.
So my problems are, is there something wrong with the power supply? THere's also a setting on the power supply where I can shift it along letters designated "PAL", and I'm not sure what that means. I also hear a little noise whenever I shift the voltage and play with that "PAL" setting when the power supply's plugged in, so I'm assuming the supply is in good shape. If that's the case, is the Q-connector doing getting in the way of the wires for the motherboard, or is there just something wrong with the mother board? I also didn't install anything else (HDD, GPU, memory, Optical Disc Drive), so I'm pretty lost on what's wrong. Suffice to say, I'm begining to think I got way over my head trying to build the system myself as I figured I had experience building to 478 pentium 4 day systems (which obviously is not coming in handy). Anyway, if anyone has any idea what I should do, fire away.
Edit: To clarify, those extra wires are coming from the front of the case. -Distraught person.
