Thank you for all your suggestions. No offense taken, you would have to go far to offend me. :-) I have tried all of them, one at a time. I am not sure what the deal with the ps was except that I tested the power supply with the mobo in the box and everything connected to it. I pulled out an old mobo and retested the ps again and found one that worked. The original one is dead. Once I pulled all the cables out of the box and had unrestriced access to the plugs, I was better able to get things plugged in and everything worked. My guess is that I didn't have the powercables correctly seated. I do know that when plugging them in that the black wires go together.

No offense intended, but did you REALLY swap cables as well, or are you assuming your cables are fine without swapping them? Try a new cable. Try reseating your cards and try a different PCI slot. Try a different port on the hub. Make all these changes one at a time, so you know what change caused the problem to go away if it does.
