It's all put together, but after quite a bit of troubleshooting it looks like the crystal I used is bad. Of course I don't have another one on hand, so if the local Radio Shack doesn't have one I'll have to order it.
On a side note, It used to be that you could head on down to the local Radio Shack and get what you need. They were even out of a good number of fairly common resistors last time I went. Wish me luck...
Every time this kind of thing happens I get closer to opening my own store.
Update update...
Cheater over at the Arduino forums reminded me that I was being stupid. In all that effort, I spaced out the fact that the ATmega168 has an internal oscillator. After setting the right fuses to tell it to use the internal clock, it works just fine until I get around to replacing the crystal. The only drawback is it won't communicate with the Arduino programming software via USB until it's fixed. Good thing I just got my hands on an AVR programmer.
