1) You say stripped, but it sounds like your drives are still connected.
Unplug them from the board / card, and if it's a RAID card remove that from
the board as well. You want nothing more than CPU, RAM and video hooked to
the motherboard in instances like this.

2) Have you removed the board from the PC? Maybe it's grounding out on
something.

3) Hook up a PC speaker to the motherboard and listen for beep codes.

Good topic  though, I'm going to be upgrading my backend storage soon and
this post asks some of the same questions I have. Being a Windows admin by
trade, LVM and software RAID frighten me.
