Exclamation Putting G4 Quicksilver into a new ATX case.

Hey guys. I'm trying to put my Powermac G4 733 Quicksilver into a new case. Don't get me wrong, I love the Apple case, but it really blows for trying to add stuff to it. So I (argghhh..) bought a PC-style case. After I switched everything over to it, the computer turns on but I don't see anything on the monitor. I had to do some serious modding to the ATX case to get it to work, but since I just changed the shell of the system, I don't see why I can't get it to run. Oh, and I did switch over the power supplies, since the Mac power supply is not standard (in fact, nothing seems to be standard in it, down to the screws, which is really an annoying fact about Apple.) Anyway, the lights come on, the hard drives and fans spin, but no boot. Am I missing something here? I've heard of an alledged magnet somewhere in the case... is this true?
Any help would be MUCH appreciated.
Thanks, pathofthorns19
