Tonight I dragged out the motherboard (they're not *that* bad, the 8xx0 cases!), and found the power switch clean snapped off, with a past hard-core attempt to repair it ... with Blu-Tac 
Heaps of broken plastic in the case, mainly the plastic power switch extender I hope - looks like I'll be borrowing heavily from the 8500 here to bring it back to a decent life.
No RAM/VRAM, think I've just enough for 128MB spare though, do the VRAM slots need to be populated for onboard video to function?
