hey all, just have a quickie question. I just ordered my board from newegg (59 bucks...sweet) and i've heard people talking about being able to call up asus and they'll give you the back plate and accessories for no charge.
Does anyone know the number or place to visit to get this service, cause i aparently passed it up on the asus site. Thanks in advance for any advice ya got.

Hmm, really? I would like to know this too, because I just picked one up, and it didn't come with any of the extras. Anyone know?

Try emailing ASUS customer service yet? Or if they give a number on their site then call them up. Usually can get things solved if you talk person to person (rather than trying to email).

Yeah I'm curious to see if Asus will give out a free I/O shield, driver disk, etc. I got a refurb a few months back and ended up getting all the accessories for like $10 on Ebay.

HA! you're not kidding they're better than ecs!

If I had to pick a favorite part of the mobo, it would have to be the SoundStorm, it sounds INCREDIBLE w/ my Logitech Z-560's.

Try emailing Asus at [email protected]

They replied in less than a day for me and said that my item would arrive within 5-10 working days. I thought that was great. =)

Free Fix minus accessories.

A7V333-X Faceplate + Snips - some aluminum
= A7N8X-DX Faceplate + sharp edges = sweet



on the downside, those accessory kits are pricey on ebay. oh well, i wouldnt use half the crap anyways.

Woah, they are kinda expensive on ebay. The only thing I want to be able to use is the ir header, but that doesn't come with the kit anyway. Anyone know where they sell them?

JUST KIDDING. this thing is a POS.
In the midst of playing games, on stock settings for everything (fsb, mults, timings) i get random restarts. unless im missing something completely here, this is crap and im RMAing it.

i was having some nic errors on the nvidia actually. 3com with updated drivers seemed to be pretty good. really no reason to go up a revision if youre satisfied with how your stuff is performing now.
