Unhappy First Boot - No power (?)

Specs:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-EP41-UD3L
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E7400
Video Card:ATI Radeon HD4350
Memory:Kingston 1Gb PC2 4200 CL4 ECC 240-pin DIMM
PSU: Antec Basiq 350W
Case: Gigabyte GZ X3

Processor and fan installed OK. Memory installed OK. Motherboard mounted into Case and connected OK.

PSU connected OK, although noted that Pin 20 was not connected to anything. I gather this is an obsolete pin so should be OK. 20-pin connection plus 4-pin connection, plus 12v 4-pin connection all OK.

When the PSU is switched on, the power-on button is lit-up, however on switching on...nothing happens, no beeps, no case fans or PSU fans spinning and no noise or activity in the PSU itself. The only sign of life is the blue light on the ON switch.

Any thoughts, anyone?

Is the switch connected to the motherboard the right way around?
