PRODUCT COMPOSITION

You just have to check out how huge the box is.

Comparing Chaintech's example of a motherboard bundle with the competition is like comparing a tug boat you play with in the bathtub to an oceanliner. With a big playpen, you know there will be lots of toys and this package is pretty well Christmas in a box.

Let's open it up..

For starters, you will receive two VERY thick multilingual setup manuals and a feature breakdown poster. I found the poster especially useful see that it had every possible header and connection was illustrated for easy interpretation and installation.

With the manuals, you will also find the driver and bonus software CD, a SATA power and data cable, a fiber optic cable for the digital audio out, thermal grease and an included handy screwdriver/pen.

Moving along to another compartment, you will uncover the included rounded IDE and floppy cables, the WOL (Wake-on-Lan) cable, and the rear connector shield plate.
