Hmm, try removing the GFX card - your mobo might have integrated graphics which it can fall back on.

You'll need a mobo with a VGA port with the others, not just on a card though.

Also, you might want a USB SATA enclosure, so once you mount the disk in the enclosure, it looks like a USB flash drive to OSes.

Also, it might just that the motherboard is completely killed. And the graphics card looks new to me, most GFX cards didn't have a fan back in the day. (for my old GFX card comparison, mine is a ATI Rage 128 Pro from 1999)
