Nevermind about the "no ill effects" part. The computer stopped POSTing on me today - sometimes I get a power light and nothing else, while other times I get one long beep followed by two short beeps, but in any case nothing displays on the screen. Tested the power supply with the parts machine and it POSTs fine, so I can safely assume my power supply isn't at fault here.
Probably a power issue caused by the caps on the motherboard, since one of them fell off entirely and another is visibly leaking. Even better that I have absolutely no experience w/ soldering SMT capacitors, but I've looked at some tutorials and it doesn't seem too difficult. Will get some replacements ordered and will update yet again.
