    I think I've now solved the problem. A failing PSU. I've just taken everything to bits, and checked everything. It was a little dusty, but no loose cables, connections, and hard drives working fine.

    It still wouldn't boot up properly, so I held a hot hairdryer to the PSU for a few minutes, and it booted up instantly. :T

    Now to get a replacement PSU. Never replaced one before, so should be fun.
