Sparing all the gory details, it turns out the power supply had failed 
and not the MB.  The dives were spinning up, the keyboard was tickled, I 
just wasn't getting video. That, and because it is a PC Power & Cooling 
unit, I gave the PS a pass initially.  Nevertheless, thanks for all the 
comments on swapping a MB.  I'm sure they will be useful to me at some 
point, and helpful to others on this list as well.
