Update 3:

I switched around my + & - and put them in series with the ASIC chip. I turn on PSU; Fan starts up then quits & the PSU shuts off. What could be my problem? I am using a 12V rail that is meant for 12A and I only need 1.2Watts / 10Amps per blade.

Problem:
Led light behind the ethernet port starts blinking when I initially power the board, but it shuts off.
PSU works when not connected to ASIC board.

Possibilities:
Bad PSU
Pulling to many amps from ASIC board
PSU not supplying advertised voltage

Other:
Fuse is working (tested em with diode checker)
Fans come on when not plugged into ASIC (using other 12V Rail to power the fans)
Only reading about 11.5-11.3V on multimeter when no fans are plugged in.
No smoking of the equipment as of yet =P

That doesn't sound right. Don't they need 120Watts per blade? as per OP

Yea, Your right. That is a typo. Its suppose to be 1.2Volts @10 amps / 120 Watts, but thanks for the help..

Update 4:
I found out my PSU problem with the help of Wizkid on IRC. He gave me the idea to connect my two 5v extra wires to a 5-6v fan. (Older PSU's won't work properly unless power is distributed.) I joined both 5v wires from the modified molex splitter (per OP) & used one ground wire from same rail to power the 6v fan. Plugged it in and boom everything worked. Including the two 120mm fans I have on another rail.
Seen IP connectivity and Connected to the ASIC through the browser at ease =P Now, I need to figure out how to input the settings perfectly =P to mine on slush's pool. Hopefully that is a bit simpler... I have been fiddling with this stuff since yesterday. Should of been much simpler, but I paid 50 bucks for a cheapo pwr supply and ended up wasting valuable time cause of a different power distributing configuration.
