Should you like have some front side USB 3.0 connectivity then a second set of USB 3.0 connectors can be led towards the frontpanel with the inclusion of this 3.5" drive bay, very handy and it comes standard with the motherboard.

When we flip the board around 90 degrees we stumble into the processor socket, LGA1155, a new socket required for the upcoming Sandy Bridge processors. Here we can also see a 8-pin CPU power header conveniently placed. The VRM/MOSFET/Choke area is nicely covered with passive cooling as well as the chipset and the extra Lucid Hydra IC.

If we zoom in a little we can spot lots of room around socket LGA 1155, also we spot quality capacitors and solid core chokes. The component selection was done properly alright.
