Oooh, good and useful diagnostics. I've seen nor smelt no trace of Magic Smoke.

I'm pretty sure that the power button on the front of the case goes to the motherboard, since I can change what it does by changing software settings. I'll have to dig out the manual for both mobo and case, and see what I can figure out.

It COULD just be that the cable 'twixt case button and mobo is askew. This could conceivably be the root of a lot of my observed problems (particularly the fact that this thing hasn't done a full software shutdown since installing Ubuntu, and would often not quite turn all the way off back when I had Windoze).
