So, I was working on my 3000D getting it ready for market since I don't use it and it should go to someone who would appreciate it.
Anyway, was trying to get the floppy to work and set a replacement drive on top of the currently installed drive and transferred the power and signal cable.
Hit the power button and accidentally brushed the replacement drive and it slipped and shorted out against the other drive.
Loud POP!
Computer died.
Pulled the power cord off, removed the offending floppy drive from it's precarious perch and disconnected all cords from it.
Reinstalled power cord and pressed the power button.
Nothing.
Nada.
Absolutely no signs of life. Hard drive doesn't spin up. No power LED. No joy.
So, my question, before I start checking pieces out in other machines:
How likely is it I fried the motherboard? Or did I (hopefully) just kill the power supply?
If the power supply is the only victim, anybody got a suggestion for a replacement? I noticed amigakit has an adapter for using an ATX power supply, but has anyone adapted an ATX to fit in the 3000D case?
Waiting patiently for answers.

Oh boy.. I see this more and more.. people messing with a working machine and then zappo..
