The goods...



Wow... This package is the real deal. Everything you need. From left to right:

COM bracket
4x USB 2.0 bracket
firewire bracket
manual
drivers
3x 4 pin molex to (2) SATA connectors
6x SATA cables with one right angled end
IDE cable
floppy cable
IO bracket
SLI bridge

The cables are nice quality as well. Not the cheap impossible to bend "round" UV ones DFI throws in the box.









4x SATA 2.0 hot swap connectors
sideways CMOS battery (wtf?)
Power and reset switches to the left



Molex power connector
com port connectors
2x PCI slots

11x 4v560uf caps

Lots of other electronics I don't understand

Average chipset heatsinks



4th pin on CPU fan header?



PS2 keyboard/mouse
IEEE1394B
IEEE1394A

dual gigabit ethernet



Ready to rock!

Going to install windows now, I'll update throughout the night. If you would like to see something tested on the board just ask me. Here's what I have planned:

Max HTT
low lat vs loose lat 32m and 3d01
Max clocks

Anything else?
