Bundle and presentation

EPoX's boards continue to get more stylish with age. We quite like this model. Its origins are left in no doubt with Springdale and i865PE emblazoned on the cover.

Plenty of action going on here. Of the more notable inclusions are 4x SATA ports, Gigabit LAN, IDE RAID and FireWire. Yum, yum.

More lovely artwork. The back highlights exactly what each EPoX model offers.

The bundle is quite comprehensive again. 2 rounded cables add a touch of individuality. The manuals are pretty well written on the whole, with emphasis and detail placed at the necessary parts. SATA is present with 2 cables and accompanying power plugs. A FireWire cable, floppy cable and GAME port complete the bundle. The driver CD contains all the pertinent utilities and programs needed to get the board up and running.
