Board could be fried. I was setting up a system earlier this year and had the same thing happen (different board though), no noise, no power to CPU, etc, and it turned out that there was a short on the mobo which fried it.
HOPEFULLY you didn't fry other things. Sometimes you can short out the CPU if your motherboard doesn't shut off power to that region quick enough. Take it to a shop that does free estimates and have them check each component out, then order new stuff if you need to, or they'll tell you what's wrong if it's an easy fix and you can do your thing.
EDIT: As jmac said, could be a screw behind the board, which would cause it to short out.

theres one sign of power to the mobo
Power to the mobo doesn't mean that it's not toast though.

i poop on you
is the speaker in your case hooked up to the mobo? if theres any kind of error the speaker should beep a certain amount of times and u should be able to diagnose the problem using the number of beeps and the manual. are u sure the video card is plugged in all the way properly? does the monitor have an indicator light that turns from orange to green when on and if so, does it just stay orange?

im running an a8v deluxe with my athlon 64 3000+ (socket-939 version) and have never had problems yet. well, except when my bro let me borrow his BFGtech Geforce 6800 OC.. for some reason couldnt get it to work properly when the drivers were installed.. but its not definite if it was because of the mobo or not. other than that this is the fastest system ive had. well i havent had many but it was a **** big upgrade coming from a 733 mhz overclocked to1 Ghz celeron.

Sounds like a bad board to me.
Whether new or several months old, those symptoms aren't easily remedied, in most cases.
NewEgg rules, so they'll pro'lly take good care of you.

Newegg is very quick on turn arounds when you return items, which is a rare find in a company because they stand to lose money with it.
When my board was fried though, it did fry the CPU and I called newegg (website said since it was a bundle it wasn't eligible for return) and they didn't question at all, asked what was wrong, sent a barcode to include on the return package, and within 2-3 days of the package arriving back at their warehouse my credit card was credited.

half the time you fry the board the cpu goes with it.
25% the mem goes too
everything else is very unlikely with your mobo
a8v has audio troubleshooting so if the mobo worked it would tell you what the prob is assuming you hooked up the audio warnings. no warnings and no cpu = cooked mobo

oh yea i c what u mean now jmac. a while bacc i built a computer for my friend. he spend two grand on new internals.. but he used his old case. it wouldnt boot. i thought it might have had something to do with the case and the mobo conflicting each other physically.. but i didnt really think it might be shorting out.. anyway he bought a new case and it worked. i bet it was grounding out.

Okay, so I reinstalled everything to know avail... I even tried connecting just the power and ATX connectors and once the power switch on the PSU is flipped on, then the LED comes on without pressing any power switch. This was with the mobo sitting on an anti-static pad out of the case...
Now, I had problems with the Epox board I had prior to this as well. Actually, I never got this new pc to work because somethings always messed up. I am starting to believe that it could be the PSU on the case... I bought the case from newegg with the PSU. It's the Antec Sonanta II with the 450-watt PSU. Think I should try to RMA this and try a new PSU? First, I am going to try a friend's PSU out and see what happens....
