Move the vid card to the bottom of the case. Remove the processor. Get out your flashlight and look at the hole the processor goes into. Put the processor back in. Now... Here's the secret...
PUSH!!!!!
It takes an incredible amount of 'PUSH' to seat the damned thing. You'll think you're gonna break the mobo.
Use your flashlight and ensure that it's seated. Check and make sure that you didn't unseat the vid card.
Pull the L2 cache and see if it'll bong. (BTW, the speaker's plugged in, right?)
If it bongs, put the cache back in and try again. It just might go. If it does, add a couple three drives and you got yourself a nice machine.

Hi all,
I got a supossedly dead power tower pro, it has no hdd, and no zip drive, it does have a floppy and a cdrom, two 64 MB ram sticks, the cpu card a radeon 7000 vid card. I turn it on and the fans spin but nothing happens no bong. I tried my sonnet G3 400 in it, but I think this wont work as it is for my 8500 and nowhere on it does it say to use it with a six pci slot mac? also, when I opend it up to clean out the case of dust, I found the cpu fan was unplugged, coudl this mean the cpu is fried? I pressed the cuda button a lot. any help? I also yanked eveything out and reseated it. Also tried bottting with just one of the two RAM sticks.
