AHA!  It WAS the power supply.  I tried plugging in a different
power supply and Viola!  The CPU Fan spun up!   Yay!  Thank you.
I owe you a beer for saving me a lot of angst.  I just need to
get an ATX extender cable because I can't plug in the power supply
when the memory is present.

Thank you thank you thank you!
