Articles: Mainboards

Pages: [ 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 ]

There are 5 smaller boxes inside the big one. The PC Transpo is a bag in which you may want to carry your system case about. It’s quite a handy contraption.

The FrontX panel with I/O ports should be installed into a 5.25” bay of the system case. You can choose which exactly connectors it carries. We installed USB and FireWire connectors, audio jacks, a microphone input and a small diagnostics panel with four LEDs into our FrontX.

The round light-green aerodynamic cables (one IDE and one FDD) shine in ultraviolet light just like some of the mainboard components – a move towards modders. Regrettably, DFI was a bit stingy here as you usually use two IDE cables in the system, but the LanParty NFII Ultra B comes with only one aerodynamic IDE cable. Anyway, one is enough to attract attention to your system at first glance.

The next box contains such accessories as two SATA cables, a bracket with two FireWire ports, a power adapter for SATA HDDs, an I/O shield and thermal paste. The manufacturer was nice to include the thermal compound as it is often necessary when you replace your old mainboard.

The last box contains the mainboard itself. Here it is:

Besides the things enumerated above, we also receive:

  • Two CDs and a floppy diskette with the standard set of drivers and utilities and InterVideo WinCinema;
  • A Quick Installation Guide in English, French, German and Chinese;
  • A user manual in English, French, German, Spanish and Russian;
  • A brochure describing the mainboard features (in English).

A mainboard with such gorgeous accessories should offer widest opportunities at work. Let’s check out if that’s really so.
