I found another person with the same issue.
Looks like I have a lot of remedies to try, everyone's suggestions here and also CMOS and BIOS:

The "front block panel block connector :)), is the white piece of plastic on the lower right of the screen, right next to the blue piece of plastic. Zoom in, then move the image with your mouse, then zoom again, for a better picture.
The speaker attaches directly to the board. A speaker should have come with your case, instructions on where to place it are in the manual in the same section as the front block panel instructions.
I wasn't aware that nVidia cards did audio, I thought only ATI's did. In any event, since you don't even have drivers for the card installed, I'd remove the s/pdif and worry about that later.
The connector should have come with your board; the speaker with your case. The connector isn't essential, just handy, but hearing beeps could be considered essential? Case/Motherboard Speaker - Speakers , or call Antec and complain that you didn't get one.
Yeah, it doesn't come with one. Newegg.com - Antec Three Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Do you think calling them would do anything?
UPDATE:
Taking the board out and putting it on the anti-static bag did not produce different results.
The red LED for memory problems remained lit continuously -- supposedly indicating a RAM issue.
Attempted boot with PSU, Board, RAM, processor, and video card. -- Everything seated securely.
Used one of three RAM sticks to alternate slots. Will prob try the other two just to be thorough.
Going to try the CMOS next.
The BIOS version printed on my board says 1.00G.
On the Asus site it says i7-930 is supported on BIOS 0108 and later. On all PCBs.
See:
That's a bit confusing.
The manual says the memory LED remains on if the RAM isn't compatible with the board.
They instruct to get RAM that is listed in the book as definitely being compatible. My RAM is not on there.
However, someone on NewEgg has the same board and RAM and had no issues.
Try each stick individually to see if you can get her to boot. If you can, use AsusUpdate to grab the latest bios.
