So what do you get when you purchase the LV-670? Well the following:
- Manual
- Driver CD
- 1x IDE cable
- Floppy disk drive cable
- Line In/Line Out/Mic Cable
- Serial Cable
- 2x USB 2.0 cable
All these are nicely packaged below the motherboard. You will note that there is no ATX blanking plate,
a major omission as the connectors on the motherboard are not the normal ATX standard layout.
This means you will have to go without one making the back of the case untidy. Considering the minimal cost of the back plate I cant understand it being left out and hopefully Commell will change this in the future.
I find it quite odd that three cables have been included.
Sure all of them are useful, but bear in mind nearly all of the MiniITX cases have one or two PCI slots. This means that either you use the slot for any PCI card you have or choose the specific cable included that you need the most.
I would like to have seen all these connectors include on one blanking plate. Odder still is the fact that the serial port is also included as an external cable.
You would expect to see it on the motherboard backpanel not as an external solution. That said most people no longer use serial ports and the internal port would be very useful for those wanting to use Serial LCD's.
Moving onto the manual, is not the largest most complete example I've ever seen but does the job for the most part and it does have a very good set of pictures so you can see what is what. It also contains many of the pin layouts for the internal connectors.
