OK, that changes everything!
The power supply you have is an AT style PSU. These are hard switched (unlike ATX supplies) which means the ON/OFF switch on the front of the case does actually turn the PSU ON and OFF directly. ATX supplies don't, the on/off switch only sends a signal to the mobo, and it's the mobo that then turns the psu on.
Does the CPU fan connect directly to the PSU or does it go to the motherboard?
The CPU you have will be a slot 1 (cartridge style) one. The RAM will be either 72 pin SIMMs or PC66 DIMMs. It sounds like you have simms.
Do the ram sockets have white plastic clips at either end or bare metal tabs?
Also, what colour socket is the video card inserted in? (white or black)

I just found one like this in the dumpster lol. It has amd amd cartrage, some pci ports, a long black expantion port at the bottom, a smaller black port ubove the pci ports that is indented like agp. the cartrage was coated in thermal paste ans connected to a double fan hsf. the memory looked like sdram tho.
