I just went through a similar scenario and wound up wasting a few
hundred bucks on unneeded replacement parts.
My takeaway from the experience: open up the case, disconnect
*everything* - drives, cards, whatever except for the power
supply and then see if, when you turn it on, the CPU fan at least
starts to spin.
If it does, you know that one of the things you disconnected may
be the root cause.
If it doesn't, I'd say the next step is to verify that the power
supply is ok - either by swapping it out or some technical check
that I'm too clueless to even think about.
In my case it was the data drive.
