Any idea what model Dell it is?

A majority of dell desktops have a green LED on the motherboard to indicate it’s ready to power on.

Things I would suggest trying  
-Make sure the P4 connector is attached properly (if applicable)  
-Try shorting the jumper for the power switch to see if it powers on  
-Clear the CMOS by pulling the battery & power  
-Reseat the CPU

Usually the most Dell’s are properitary in the sense that you can’t bolt a power supply to the case. The connectors are almost always wired in the conventional way.
