| From forensic testing (ie, I pulled the motherboard out and looked at it) it looks like something shorted out, and melted a plastic component on the motherboard. At first I suspected the power supply, as there were no lights on the machine and it wouldn't power on, but it seems that if there was a power supply problem it was probably caused by whatever melted on the board. So I bought a new power supply, and replaced the board and CPU with a spare I had around (luckily!!), and now, 12 hours later, we're back up and running again. Now to try and get rid of this burnt plastic smell!! Sorry for the delays everyone.
