If the PSU was the problem wouldn't the fans NOT run?
absolutely not.
many times a PSU is too weak or faulty just to the point of not providing the CPU with the power needed to boot. in these cases, the fans will run and everything appears fine.
people usually think its a problem with their monitor in that type of situation.

In the case of no video or beeps, it could just as easily be the motherboard, or perhaps even more likely in my experience. I'd say, out of all the "no video" problems I fixed:
50% were bad motherboard
20% were bad PSU
15% were bad RAM
10% were bad video card
And the remaining 5 percent were something else, like monitor, mobo needing bios update for Ivy Bridge, weird jumpers like in the case of those old ECS socket 478 boards, etc.
EDIT: However, given the newegg reviews of the PSU in question, I wouldn't be surprised.
And the mobo you have is not good, either. Come by next weekend and I'll definitely be able to tell you what's wrong with it before you leave my house.
