PC Start-up problem

I'm building a new computer for a friend and here's the specs:

Foxconn 600A01
AMD XP 2800+
Rosewill Ram 512

Rosewill case with 350W powersupply(the problem I think)


So to the problem. I put everything together checked the connections and hit power on the case and . . . the cpu fan spins maybe once and nothing happens. So I tried a different PSU. This time a cheapo 400W and press power on and get maybe 3-4 spins out of the cpu fan and nothing happens. I'm still thinking it is a PSU problem but I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions for me here. After I post this I'm going to go home and grab my spare Antec 480W and see if she'll startup.
 
Also, because it's an AthlonXP, check the third and fourth pics on this page.

The Rosewill power supplies are not a brand I'd pick either. Maybe a nice Fortron unit is in this system's future 🙂
 
I've had a Rosewill case, power supply, and memory for a year and I haven't had any problems with them (and yes, they were cheap in price). Is there anything obstructing the fan's spinning?
