I would suspect dust in the Power Supply. (But that's just me)
My system in on 24/7. Every 3-4 months I unhook everything and give the desk a good cleaning. I've smelt a brief "burning" smell when powering up after completing this task.
I suspect that dust collects in the Power Supply. Just the act of moving the computer may dislodge some of that dust onto heat intensive components.
The smell usually dissipates quickly, however.
Just something I've observed from past experience. And since the computer in question had been stored, it might apply.
