Returned home... Dead PC?

Well, after returning home from a RN assignment, I come to fine my PC powered down. No big deal, there were a couple of storms previously, and I had called to make sure there were no issues.

Won't power up with pushing power button.... OK... Lights on mobo on, I turn it off, unplug it for a few minutes and reconnect. Turn the switch on for the PSU, and the mobo lights immediately come on and a few seconds later hear this suble "tink" and the CPU fan moves just a bit and thats it.

I never get to BIOS, much less anything past that.

Besides being a bit unhappy, I'm thinking that I have a bad PSU (sniffle).... worse case senario, a bad motherboard. My complete specs are listed below as a signature.

Any advise / tips for this?
 
FYI, duplicate threads aren't really ok around here.

Anyway I recommend that you hit the stickied "Basic Troubleshooting Guide'" in this subforum on what to do when the PC does not POST.
