Boot-up problem



I have a PIII computer that I took out parts to build a new system and I
stored it in my closet for about two years. Only the memory, CPU, floppy
drive and motherboard. I put it back together and tried to boot it up.
Nothing happen. I replaced the power supply and motherboard battery and
tried again with the same results. So I discharged the CMOS, tried again
with the same result. So I decided to let it sit and tried again. It came
on but it did not detect the CD drive or Hard Drive. The floppy drive is
not connected. Thinking that the other power supply was OK, I put it back
in. The same is happening again. Nothing comes on even after discharging
the CMOS and letting it sit for a while. I have an Abit VH6II motherboard
with only a CD drive, floppy drive( not attached because of wrong cable),
AGP 32mb video card, Ethernet card and hard drive. What can I do?

Thanks;
David
