If it has been stored that long, be *VERY* careful powering it up.  You
might consider covering it with a thick blanket or something, the caps
in the power supply have been known to explode when powered up for the
first time in a long time.  Not all of them, but some have.  It's more of
a mess and disappointment than a danger if you'll leave the lid on and
cover it with something.  The older power supply (upright caps, wired
on top) was the worst offender, but I'd be careful with either.
