Kickin' it old school

I used this to refurb an old machine that lost its paging file capabilities and it sorta fit the bill. It is a mATX that I used in place of an ATX. The floppy connection is at the bottom of the board so I had to get a longer cable. It only has two fan connections, I wish there were more. It comes with some need control software to tweak the speeds. Overall for a joe basic mobo, it does a good job.

Knew that I should have bought 2

Good mother board for the price worked right out of the box. Someone had already overclocked it. No BSOD. Running a Q9600, DDR2, EVGA 9600video. Replaced a EVGA 780I FTW.
