Bundle and extras
The DFI motherboard ships in a pleasing box. Along with the motherboard you're also provided with one SATA cable, one floppy cable, and 3 ATA cables. The manual, whilst well written and generally informative, was provided on A4 sheets. Obviously the final version will be in the regular booklet format. Further, a RAID booklet, gameport extension, drivers, and custom backplane complete the package. Whilst not suffocating you with extras, the basic package ensures that you can get the motherboard up and running with minimal fuss.
