On the next few pages we'll show you some photos. The images were taken at 4272 x 2848 pixels and then scaled down. The camera used was a Canon 450D - 12 MegaPixel.

Well, we always show you what to look for in the stores, meet... the packaging. You are going "ooooh" right now eh? ;) That's a DRAGON babeeh! Yeah, um I had a bit too much coffee this morning, sorry.

The bundle and packaging. ECS makes sure you'll receive everything you need to get started. Not a rather excessive bundle though. This is common for ECS. Well, I'm Dutch, I like to see lots and lots of items included. Haah, geee, goo, gosh darn it don't we all?

This ECS mainboard comes with 3 PCI, 1 PCIe x16 and 2 PCIe x1 slots. The board incorporates Realtek 8-channel HD audio. First impression, pretty decent design. A very clean mainboard, this is due to the NVIDIA MCP7A chip covered up under that Black Series passive heatsink. Seems the benefit here is that there's one chip to rule them all... hardly any need for the motherboard manufacturer to include other chips, as the MCP has got it all.

Everything is located pretty well. Good color-scheme as well. I like the subtle tones.

Once we look at a perspective shot you can't help thinking that the board itself looks pretty cool with that black theme going on. The mainboard chipset is passively cooled by the way and thus makes no noise. Very much appreciated thank you very much :)
