Try the Jeff W method - pull everything except processor and video card and see if it will boing and load the ROM to arrive at a flashing question mark looking for a boot device. This means the hardware has initialized and it is looking for a boot device - at this point you can supply it with a disk tools floppy to see if it will successfully load the OS. If you have another mac handy, you can put a cd driver on the floppy and mount a utility cd at this time. (after reconnecting scsi chain) Next, add components one at a time and reboot to find the offending device/card/driver.
Sorry to ramble. The point is to eliminate as many variables as possible and then to reintroduce them one at a time to find the conflict.
