Is this unit plugged into a good surge protector/line conditioner?
How did the power go out (brownout or electrical storm)? Is there a phone modem line plugged directly into the unit?
The surge just before the power goes out in the case of an electrical storm may have simply overloaded and killed the entire thing.

Thanks for the help. After cleaning out the computer and reseating the cards, the problem was gone and it booted right up. Thanks for the help!
Otherwise:
Try swapping RAM for known good modules.
Try a CMOS reset (battery removal 30 min, or a jumper).
Just to begin with...
