OCZ Modstream 520W

Ok so I've been reading all the praise about the new OCZ power supplys, and I've been shopping for a new one. I finally ordered the above, for 99.99 at monarach computers. Which i thought was a really good deal...until i got it. The packaging was fine, and i was very excited. But when i installed it and powered up my computer, the monitor light turned green just as i turned on the computer and then went to standby. The fans ran, the graphics card was on, little light showing power. I didnt panic, I unhooked everything and hooked up the bar minimum. Nothing. Hooked up a different monitor just in case. Nothing. Tried my old Fortron 370W PSU, with the bare minimum, booted fine. I really want this PS/another one to work. I'm going to send it back to OCZ and see if i can get a replacement. Dammit!
