Dimension 4550 Can't Power On

Recently I've been having problems powering on my Dimension 4550 machine.  In the past I've jiggled the power cord and after a few clicks of the power button, the machine starts.
 
Last night the machine doesn't respond anymore.  I'm trying to figure out if this could be a power button (in front of the machine) malfunction or whether the power supply died.  I had shut the machine off a few days before before discovering that it's no longer responding.
 
BTW, I've done several upgrades to my machine:
Installed 250GB internal HD
Installed 1 GB of RAM
Installed new AGP video card
Installed second video card (PCI)

    aliuson,

    Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.

    It could be the power supply has failed. Contact support and have them troubleshoot the issue and replace the defective part.

    Not no more.  Dell moderators have removed it.
