Frustrating to be sure.

Soul, you have probably considered this already, but I had the same problem with 2 older ASUS mobds. Would power up but not post. & BTW this is the only problem I have had with ASUS mobds.

I bought a P5TE with a 2.2 ghz pentium 4. Put it all together and no post.
Luckily I had purchased the parts locally from where Farty used to work.

Turns out that it needed a bios upgrade in order to be able to support any CPU above 1.8GHZ. Farty figured this out, put in a 1.8GHZ, flashed the bios, and my 2.2 worked fine and posted properly after that. Like wtf could I do. Couldn't post with the 2.2, so couldn't upgrade bios. Catch 22.

It's a long shot that it would be the same type of problem.

Also have you considered the CPU might be bad??
