Wow, lots of replies. Thanks.
After way too much time searching the bios setup menus, I have determined that wake-on-ping is disabled. It was set to reboot on power failure. I didn't find any ACPI settings, but I wasn't looking very hard for it.
I'm fairly comforatable inside the case, I built this system myself and had to exchange a bad mobo. I could disconnect the switch, but I need to use the computer for most of the afternoon and evening so I don't plan on disconnecting it until later tonight and see if it has powered up in the morning.
Does polarity matter with the power switch? I'm pretty sure that I didn't check when I was plugging the cords onto the posts.
I have an antec sonota II case. Incoming air is filtered and there is a big duct in the way. So I checked for the monkey, but he must be hiding somewhere. I do have far too many binders in the room, it isn't impossible that one of them contained a computer chip that has integrated both itself and the monkey into the computer.
