So I go out to work, leaving my comp on (like I do on a regular basis) running a torrent. I come back and the thing has turned off.
Restart doesn't work, power button doesn't work. The cables are fine.

I'm thinking that the PSU has gone at long last, this seem likely?

Which proves us why porn is bad and can harm your computer :p
Well, get a voltmeter and test voltage. Maybe there is a blown fuse inside or sumfinn

It could be any one of a number of things. But no response whatsoever suggests PSU isn't unreasonable. Can you snag one from somewhere to find out?
