No, you don't need to take off the rubber feet.. If you feel as though the Alpha isn't pushing down hard enough, bend the metal clamps so it will.

To test if your PSU is dead or not, plug it into the wall, then take a paperclip and bend it and touch the green wire on the plug that goes into the motherboard to any black wire on the plug. if the fan comes on, it should be ok. just don't mess with the internals of the PSU or the AC plug, as that can hurt very badly.

you may just not be getting it plugged into the motherboard all the way. I've spent 30 minutes frustrated and cussing and I just didn't have that in securely :)
