On the right hand top corner, you will find the caps, a 8 pin AUX power. At the centre is the AMD 480X chipset. Below At the bottom of the board, we see 2 DIMM slots supporting up to 2GB of DC-DDR2-800. There is 1 IDE channel and 4 SATA II ports in RAID 0,1,0+1,5  array.

The back panel consists of PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse, 4 USB ports, 1 x Fast Ethernet LAN port and 6 ch audio ports. The empty portion where the LPT1 is usually found is for DIY to mount cooling fan to cool the capacitors.
