Accessories may add a lot to the cost of a complete package, but Asus understands the “value added” concept: The price they pay to include extra cables and adapters is far less than the combined prices a buyer would pay to purchase these separately.

Included are the User’s Guide, WiFi adapter guide, InterVideo WinDVD Suite (Enhanced), a Driver Application CD, WiFi antenna, monitor-mountable stereo microphone with Velcro attachment tape, a fan for use with the heatpipe when water-cooling has eliminated the needed cross-draft, the port plate, an ATA100/133 cable, a floppy cable, a case badge, an IEEE1394 breakout cable, a 2-USB breakout cable, “Q-Connectors” with installation guide, three 4-pin to 2-device SATA power adapters, and six SATA cables-three with straight ends and three with one 90-degree end. Phew!

The Driver CD is also bootable to create RAID driver floppies for XP/XP64 installation on either the JMicron or Intel controllers.
