I have returned from my ill-timed trip, and I have some updates.
Problem:
The power supply in the server is fried.
Bright side:
Nothing else seems to be damaged / motherboard wasn't harmed.
Temporary solution:
I am copying over backup files to my home pc, which will run the yukkuricraft minecraft server. Will update here when it is up.
Final solution:
A new, better quality psu. The 600w psu comes with a 3 year warranty, and is a well-made product (our now broken psu had a shorter warranty that had actually expired right before it went kaput). It is less than $60 with amazon prime, which will be more than covered by what fund we still have from donations.
I apologize for these problems, they have come at an inopportune time, to say the least. Hopefully the temporary solution will do for the time being, while we wait for the new power supply.

I believe we should be thanking you for providing us a with a server :3
And is it really fine to run it off a home PC?

Welcome to the 21st century, where 1 line of text is too long.
tl;dr: 21st century, 1 line 2 long 5 u.

Do you have a hour emergency call systems broadcasting radio station WNYW or Internet Explorer? Well? Which one? Cyros admits the truth: http://i.snag.gy/GTy14.jpg |

Remember, the hardware's at least two years old and we only had about a $500-600 budget to work with when we first bought the thing.

Yep, I've got a virtual machine set up on my pc, and hooked up all the peripherals/hds that are needed :).

It is a lot, but it's a safeguard for futures upgrades. We may even wind up getting one of AMD's 200W TDP monster cpus xD.

Keep in mind that there is no GPU in the hardware, which tends to be to most power hungry component in PCs. On that note, I can run 2 (3) 7950s on a 850w psu, so great power isn't always needed.
An update for the server:
Last night, Remi and I verified the restored backups were up to date and working, after finishing installing all required software at around 5am EST. When Remi finishes tweaking the configuration, he will start the server and announce that it is back up.
