I wouldn't think it's a dead CMOS vattery. I've had that hapopen before and the computer will generally start up fine every time, but put you into a BIOS setup screen every time where you will have to re-enter the date, time, and IDE specs. Then you lose that when the computer shuts down. But I think it weuld still start with a dead battery.
In any case, replacing the battery if it's so low certainly cannot hurt. And putting in RAM will at least get the POST to the point where it can give you some beep codes which you can then look up in the documentation, or most can also be found at the manufacturer's website.

I found out what's wrong, several pins on the intel pci controller were bent touching each other, they are way to small for me to bend back so i will throw it away.

pci controller
well hey, if your not using it or you can find another one just stick a phillips head screwdriver in and run it through, it will ruin the slot but it should get the pins to not touch 
I did not come here to tell you how it is going to end, I came here to tell you how it was going to begin. I\'m going to hang up this phone, then I\'m going to tell these people what you don\'t want them to hear.
