I got hosed.
Okay, I tried the paper clip on the ground (black) and standby (purple) and I got no fans or anything. Actually just more silence. I put the paper clip in, plugged in the power supply and got nothing. Is there more I should be doing, by chance?
I started a claim with UPS, I hope that works.

Leave one drive plugged in to power, and see if that starts up.
There may be differences between the DA and MDD PS that I'm not aware of.

I wanted to resurrect this old(ish) conquest just to say the buyer didn't work with me - except to help me somewhat with the UPS claim, which was denied.
But, aside from that - my friend Dave helped solder the capacitor back to the board. The long story of it all is that the power button on the front of the machine is bad. It lights up but it will NOT turn the computer on or off. When I hooked up an Apple Cinema Display and pressed the on button on the display it whirred to life! I'm posting from it now.
I've loaded it with 1.5 gb of RAM that I had around as well as four HD's. I'm not too crazy about 10.5 on it so I've booted from the 10.4 drive. So far so good.
One thing I did in the process of having this thing setting on my desk is take it completely apart and remove all dust. It makes me wonder if I should re-apply the paste on the processors?
Also, does anyone know what card that is in the picture below?

I grabbed the pic a while back so I can't remember what site I got if from or I'd ask the original poster.

Looks like a PCI slot cooler.
