Product showcase

When we rotate the board we can see a white 4-pin CPU power header, already indicating that overclocking really is not an option (otherwise it would have had 8-pins). Then we see two SATA 300 and two SATA 600 (6G) ports, we totally love the SATA 6G ports from Intel, massive bandwidth there especially with a nice spicy OCZ Vertex 3. Just left to the SATA ports we see Frontpanel, USB and serial port headers. The weird looking connector all the way to the left is a Mini PCIE x1, also known as mSATA card connector.

We see that the H67 chipset is simply cooled by a heatsink, we like that... it's noiseless that way, perfect for a HTPC.

Then the lower view -- two fan headers to the right, above it two DIMM slots. DDR3 up-to 1333 MHz is supported. You can install up-to 8GB on this little fracker. To the left in white, the ATX motherboard power connector.

And when we flip it around once more we get a good view of that Gen 2 PCIe x16 slot. Perfect for even a high-end graphics card, it has the full 16 PCIe lanes available. We spot proper quality capacitors and MOSFETS. Above the PCIe slot, socket 1155. Space is decent enough, but seems a little crowded with capacitors. That might be a hindrance to some CPU coolers.

But let's fire her up and do some actual testing.
