Power Problem I have not used my computer in about 3 months. It has been untouched for that time (the room door closed, no kids, etc). When I attempted to get on the computer, there was no power to the tower. I double checked the cords, they are in the right place, plugged in tightly, etc. Tried different outlets and different power cord. Monitor and perifpherals all have power. What could it be ??

It sounds to me like your power unit inside the tower smoked. If you have the time and patience, replacing the power unit isn't to difficult to accomplish. You need to go to your computers manufacture online and download instructions via e-mail. There might have been a power overload that caused it to go. You can also remove all connections and take the whole tower to a repair shop to be tested. Usually $25.00 or less to verify problem. Hope it works.
