Hello Jeff,
The F760 was a work horse back in its day so it should boot right up : ) I would be careful replacing the NVRAM and Motherboard batteries as the plastic housing on these got very brittle over the years. If you have access to compressed air it would be a good idea to try to blow as much of the dust off of the motherboard and fans before booting it back up. Also these F760 power supplies where notorious for the pull handle screws to break off inside the power supplies, would be a good idea to pull the power supplies out and give them a good shake to see if you can hear anything rattling.
Good Luck!!
Thanks Christian

This could be fun...and old F760 with say, 4 shelves of 36G drives..
Replace the NVRAM battery, check power supplies for leaking capacitor oil...reseat cards and DIMMS... What're the odds it'll work, and any other fire-prevention steps to take? :)
-Cheers
