It turned on before but the hard drive was dead, swapped the hard drive, tried turning it on but it doesn't do anything. I hear the CRT have a slightly high pitch noise, so it's getting power, but nothing else.
Any ideas?

Nvm, talked to derekat(Idk if any of you remember him but he used to post here before the crash) and he said try it without the hard drive, tried that, it worked, tried different jumper settings on the hd and it didnt work, so I guess the hard drive is dead(Weird cause I've never had a hd that refused to let a computer boot at all)

It also sounds like you could have a bad down converter in it. Put the drive in another computer and see if it spins up.
If the down converter is going bad, the drive could just be pulling too much power and bringing the whole system down. I've seen this problem a couple of times, and have experienced it in my own eMac as well.
