New system won't post

AT8 (not 32X)
Opteron 170
2Gb ram (2 sticks 512mb Corssair, 2 512 mb Buffalo)
ATI X1800XT 512Mb (Just 1, No Crossfire config)
2 IDE DVD-Roms
2 IDE Pata HDs, 1 Floppy
1 SATA HD
1 Wireless PCI LAN card

Rosewill Performance RP500 PS (This one should be enough, shouldn't it?)

Assembled everything, try to turn on and nothing happens (unfortunately I broke my case speaker so I can't rely on that). MOBO LED shows "02", then goes to "00". Happens no matter what I do. Reset, unplug, etc. No fans, no nothing. When I hit the power button the LED will quickly show "F" then go "02" then "00". The LED on the X1800XT is always red.

Any ideas? I had this power supply working with this exact config in a ASROCK 939Dual-Sata2, so it should work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Try booting with only one DIMM and one HDD.
In other words, strip it down to basics and see if it POSTs.
 
Also make sure your IDE plugs are in the right direction into the motherboard (I've seen some that don't have a "key" on them).

Another note, take out the PCI wireless card. I have one on one of my pc's and you are supposed to install the driver cd first, then turn off the pc and install the card. Just a heads up because if you leave it in initially, it can make it harder to install the correct drivers (been there, done that ... )
