the mainboard, aka motherboard.
a P5k, bought at $160, selling outside for 210. warranty from last october but the previous owner sent it in for replacement just a month ago, so its practically only one month old. previous owner decided to upgrade his motherboard to a newer chipset so let go of this one.
the blue 16x pci-e slot for graphics card.

the tiny chip that gives 8.1 channels of sound. amazing bit of technology
decided to go with asus and not gigabyte as my old motherboard is because too lazy to read up on the gigabyte website, and am after all, an asus fan. wanted to get p5k-pro at first but decided against it coz i wouldnt half use the functions on the board, so save my $40 for somethign else.
