Since im sure ASUS has many ways of testing diff components and figuring out why they failed (in my case prolly too much voltage) should i bother trying to RMA, and if i do, do you think they will replace it?
If i should just buy a new board (yay for burning a $200 board in two months) should i stick with the M3A79-T deluxe, or does anyone have another good AM2+ board thats a really good OCer for the Phenoms thats a crossfire board (dual 16x PCI-E)

I think you should try RMAing it, even if you were to get a new motherboard. (Just incase they will replace it and you'd have a spare motherboard laying around.
If it's overvolting, act like a complete noob on the phone with them and say that there was a storm. Your power went out and you tried to turn your computer on and it didn't work.
Then, just fabricate something. I'm pretty sure they'll rma you a replacement even without the story since it's a 1 year warranty anyways.
So...in short, try to save money first. If it fails, get a new board.

no beeps. Nothing. It turns the fans and drives on and thats it. No vid, nooothing.
Emersonsc, did you disconnect everything and try only running the essentials (processor, one stick of memory and the psu)? Did you also try placing the board on a non-static surface and try bring it up that way? Perhaps a short is preventing the board from POST'ing correctly. Just a thought.
Good luck
