We're glad to see that Shuttle have bundled in a couple of brackets with the AB60RS. With these factored in, we can take advantage of 6 USB2.0 and 2 FireWire ports immediately. They've still skimped on the S-ATA side of things. We'd expect two S-ATA cables and 2 associated power connectors, really. The 2 manuals are reasonably detailed, although they carry a number of spelling mistakes. An average bundle, we'd say.
