There are people here who can help with the Console logs.  Is there  
media in the optical drive?  Does the machine start up OK from a boot  
CD-ROM?  Oh! what about resetting PRAM?  PRAM battery OK?

For the hardware on this loaded machine, I'd start unloading it in  
roughly this order:
Unplug all USB peripherals except keyboard, mouse.
Unplug all external hard drives.
Unplug one of the monitors, or maybe both, and substitute a known,  
good small monitor.
Remove PCI cards.
Unplug internal hard drives, first two, then all three, and try a boot  
CD-ROM.
Reseat RAM.
