I’m happy.  I was right about my previous power supply being busted.  I purchased an ABS Tagan ITZ 700W Power Supply from newegg, installed it, and both of the motherboards that I thought weren’t working are purring beautifully.  Plus this power supply is really nice… It’s got a super shiny blue finish that goes well with the blue lights in my case.  Comes with a rubber grommet to go between the supply and the case to keep vibration noise to a minimum. There’s tons of power connections… 2 PCI-E, 6 Molex, 2 Floppy, and 8 SATA. I’m using about a third of those connections with my current setup. Likely more than I’ll ever need, though the motherboard I’m using has 8 SATA connections as well, so if I ever get enough SATA drives to take advantage of that, I’ll be able to support the power requirements.  In any case, my desktop PC looks sexier than before, and is a little bit quieter as well.

I’m never buying a BFG product again.  I don’t like it when a power supply fails only a year after I purchase it.  I’m gonna call their tech support and see if their lifetime warranty on power supplies holds up.
