It does have a power switch, doesn't it? Many ATX PCs don't seem to have
reset buttons (the one I'm on right now doesn't), but I thought they all had
power buttons. Also, Linux can be set up to recognize CTRL-ALT-DEL (and
generally is by default, so I'm surprised this didn't work - although I
didn't try it during Storm installation).
However, while I wouldn't recommend unplugging your PC to reboot it, in this
case I wouldn't think it would have affected the installation procedure.

What video card are you using? The output from the X server would be useful
also. If you don't know how to capture the output, give as many details
about your graphics setup as you can (including desktop, whether you have X
started at bootup, etc.). At least this will help in giving instructions on
how to proceed.
