The Photo's

On the next few pages we'll show you some photos. The images were taken at 2560x1920 pixels and then scaled down. The camera used was a Sony DCS-F707 5.1 MegaPixel

Right, let's have a look at the product with the help of some photo's.

The first impression you'll get is that the mainboard looks (and is) smaller then your average mainboard. Despite its size, everything has been organized and placed pretty much right. Plenty of space around the CPU for all your cooling solutions. The PCB has a very clean design. The 24-pin ATX power connector is also very suitably placed close to the PSU. The chipset is nicely chilled by a small active ventilator.

All important connections you'll need are included. PS/2 Keyboard, PS/2 Mouse, Parallel port (printer), SPDIF Out (yay!), one COM port, Audio, Gigabit Ethernet, four USB Ports. Sound is managed onboard by a Realtek ALC655 Audio Chip.

The motherboard's memory slots are color coded for dual-channel configuration. Get two parts of the same memory and insert them in one of colors. In our case we used the purple setup.

Of course get yourself quality memory with nice low timings, very important, even more important if you decide to tweak and overclock.
