No specific help but if it gives any encourgement, I have mine set up on a HP pavillion 133 and working well. Am using in a test  one nic card and one dial out as I have not moved the server down to the museum here.  Wehnit end up at the museum will have 2 nic cards.

if you are getting no lights no monitor image etc... is it possible the powersupply in the  server cab. is dead? It almost sounds like too extreme of a death sign  to be just the op. sys.  perhaps a hardware falure.  Did you try reloading  m$ on it? or is it just a dead  dead  thing?
