I'd start by visually inspect the motherboard for anything obvious like a blown cap or scorching. You don't happen to have another PSU around to try? The fact you aren't getting video from the onboard even with the GPU removed is worrying.

Since you were working in the case recently it might also be worth taking the motherboard out of the case and seeing if it will boot normally when sitting on a non-conductive surface. If a screw or other debris got in there while you were swapping HDDs you might be getting a short from the case.

Cool - hopefully it is something as simple as a cable. It should have occurred to me to suggest another cable, too.

No problem - just happy to be of any help.
