First thing I would check (and this wasn't mentioned) is the fan. Does it still work and is it blowing? Also, is your computer inside clean of excess dust and dust bunnies?
If the system does not turn on after awhile, but the fan works, I would then look into the powersupply issue. After that, if that was ok, then I would think your motherboard is fried. As for the HD....if you have another hard drive somewhere, perhaps put that inplace of the existing one, and start the system up in dos...hope you have a startup diskette? Because if this works, then your drive was the culprit..which means reformat and and let me guess, you do not have any backups?
gotta love computers hey...
