Well, that's a bit crap.
It's definitely not POSTing, due to the keyboard lights; but without a chassis speaker it's very hard to work out why. Is there another machine you can steal one from? Or anything else you can connect to the header? In one of my machines, I've actually wired up an LED to it (mostly just to see if it worked) and use that instead of a speaker.
OH - brainwave! Either the PWR or HDD LED connections from the case might have the two wires split? Try hooking that up and see what happens. You'll need to connect it to the outer-most pins of the four pin header, but I'm not sure which way around. Try both =) I also suggest you unplug the other LED to avoid confusion.
I'm worried that you order a new mobo, only to find out that it's the CPU or the RAM.
