PRODUCT COMPOSITION (cont'd)

The included accessory kit contains:

-Two SATA data cables
-One SATA power cable (don't know why they wouldn't included two),
-An optional gameport adapter which connects directly to the motherboard
-A digital audio output bracket
-An I/O rear shield plate
-Generic thermal grease

You also will get a FrontX(tm) front connection panel which fits in your standard 5 1/4" drive bay. This peripheral is great for easy connection of all your joysticks, headphones, digital cameras and CD players.

Rounding out the endless accessories are the included orange, rounded, UV reactive floppy and ATA-133/100/66 cables. I thought they looked sweet in normal lighting, but switching off the room lighting and switching on a UV cold cathode lamp and the true aesthetic potential of these cables lights up the room.

Oh wait, did I say "UV reactive"? The cables aren't the only part of this motherboard that glows, but you will have to wait till I bring this motherboards unique characteristic to the limelight or should I say "orangelight" ;).
