When we zoom in on the frontpanel header block we see that everything is nicely color-coded and noted down on the PCB. You just wish anno 2010 that chassis manufacturers and motherboard ODMs could finally create a form factor for this and make one simple connector for this instead of always connecting the 5 to 7 sets of wires coming from the chassis. I mean... we can put 3 billion transistors on a GPU... this should not be a hard thing to design.

PCI slots wise we get three mechanical x16 PCie slots in 16:16:4, two PCie x1 slots and one old fashioned PCI slot. With this slot configurations SLI / CrossfireX with up-to two cards is recommended.
