Foxconn motherboard.

note the heatsinks on both northbridge and southbridge. the Asus didn't have the southbridge heatsink, and it got hot - over 60C - and unstable to the point of BSODs. the SATA ports are positioned better than those on Asus, and there are 3 PCI slots, not 2 PCI + 1 PCIe on Asus.

there is an actual COM port on the back plate - i need it for the IR receiver for my remote control.

power supply - heavy.

and sexy.

all the wires are modular, so no need to snip wires i won't need.

very very very nice.

that 120mm fan sucks air out from the case and blows it out through this sexy grille.

3 hard drives. that right there is 1.15 tera-bytes of storage. :)

a $1000 of a CPU.

matrix orbital VFD, very pretty.

most of these headers will not be used - i'm going to snip them right off.
