Short of checking all your connections I'm not sure there is much you can do here. The beep typically occurs to tell you that the system has sucessfully run it's simple hardware tests at bootup. If you aren't getting a beep and the system is never attempting to boot you most likely have a hardware problem.

Check all your connections (power and otherwise) and see if there are any error code LED's or anything of that nature on your motherboard.

BTW, the system should never post correctly if you remove all the RAM. To post cleanly at the very least you need RAM and a CPU installed properly.
