Is my ASUS A8R32-MVP Deluxe a dead board on Arrival? GGRRRR!!!

So, this weekend I tore apart my current rig with watercooling to install the new mobo. My hardware config is the following:

AMD X2 4800+
2GB OCZ PLatinum RAM
X1950XTX
Creative X-Fi
600W silverstone PSU

So after setting up everything with the new board, I proceed to turn the power on. The computer did turn on but nothing is displayed on the screen. My Antec P180 does not have a speaker so I can't really tell whats going on with it.

I turned the system off and cleared the CMOS and turned it back on again and the same problem happened.

Is my board dead?

unplug IDE devices and try again.

Did that too and still the same problem.. :( Should I unplug the SCSI card too?

I suggest you plug out all 'unnecessary' things so it would still boot without them. If it doesn't, well.. I don't know really.

did you plug in the 4pin connector at the top of the MB? ( p4 type connector)
