Power Failure, Maybe?

I've got a box (Athlon / ~1700MHz) which, after the storm fun of
yesterday, won't boot.

It was hooked to a UPS, so I'm reasonably confident it didn't get
fried, but maybe something's up with the PSU...

Some parts do seem to work:
- When 'switched on', the NIC lights up
- When 'switched on', an assortment of LEDs on the motherboard fire up

But pressing the switch on the front that normally tells the mobo to
tell disks to fire up and then boot doesn't do anything.

Does this seem like 'silly PSU failure'?  That's my suspicion... 
What's irritating is that what I'd rather do than fix it is to migrate
files to the AMD64 box (nice Antec Sonata case), but that means having
to power it up :-(.
