After you press the power on button on the front of the tower do the fans spin (CPU or case) and does anything seem like it is receiving power? I think the orange light indicates a hardware problem, hard to determine if the motherboard isn't know. Can you post a picture of the inside of the tower?

Take the PSU and a case fan out, and find yourself a paperclip, test the PSU, if it doesnt spin up the fan or the fan spins really slow its dead.
