Little Update:
Spent some time this weekend to clean the logic board and hard drive. Vacuum/compressed air did next to nothing for the logic board so I quickly moved on to washing with water and a toothbrush, followed by a good soaking in a distilled water+alcohol mix, and lastly a pure alcohol rinse and brush. It cleaned up very well, though there is still some dirt around the ports where I couldn't fit the brush, but that can be cleaned better when I will likely have to replace the ports. Disassembled the hard drive assembly to clean the board and chassis as well. Though the drive itself will squeak when the spindle is rotated, I'm guessing this is not a good sign but I have yet to open the actual drive yet and I'm not sure if I should (or at least not til after its tested).
Power supply is in the process of being cleaned. I'll see if I can get the floppy and analog board cleaned this week so next weekend can be the first test run. I've also got some parts coming courtesy of CC_333. If there are no surprises coming, it might be running within a week or two.
