Little perspective viewage of the PX845PE Pro II mainboard. It is designed very
well ...

Integrated Promise RAID controller, the yellow connector is for your generic IDE
device and close to the top-right position of the connector you'll notice the
tiny Serial ATA connector. I wish I had a serial ATA HD to test that bugger. RAW
speed is the middle name on it. Back to the yellow connector, it is aligned
directly in front of a PCI port which could be a problem of you use up all PCI
slots and use longer than average cards.

What I notice time after time on mainboards is that whenever you want to upgrade
or insert/remove a ram module your graphics card is in the way. The Graphics AGP
port and the RAM module connectors are just so close to each other.

The mainboard power connector is at the perfect spot, there's nothing in the way
over there and it won't interfere anything (normally positioned close to the
CPU).

Below the yellow connector the Promise RAID controller silicon, just above it
SerialATA, on your right you'll notice two times a BIOS for the Dual BIOS
function and to the far right, a jumper switch for minor board functions like
language control of the brilliant Voice Genie.

Here's a good overview of the mainboard.
