Looking at that picture (not sure due to what I assume is the 4/8 pin power cable in the way), but I can't see the front panel connectors hooked up to the bottom of the board? I can see the speaker connected, but not the power and reset switch and the power and hdd activity LED cables?
There's a section labelled 'F Panel' to the left of where you've plugged in your sata cable - check that and consult the motherboard manual if needed as to what orientation they go. Also, check that the appropriate 24 pin and 4/8 pin power cables are plugged in on the board and then check the mains power and switch on the back of the power supply are turned on.
Finally, I'm sure you know this, but some of the screws to secure the motherboard to the case stand-offs are missing. Personally, I would also double check the placement of those and screw them in as if you have some in the wrong place that are touching the underside of the board when you power it on, it could short out and fry your components and I'd hate for that to happen on your first build.
