Epox 8RDA+ I'm Impressed!

[Neofate]

Just opened up the box that my Epox 8RDA+ came in, and I'm surprised! I didn't realize it was going to come with the USB 2.0, AND firewire addons? I knew it would have support for them, and contain them if I wanted to buy some cards later.. but nope I already have them =) Sweet.

Well I just took some "very low quality" pictures of the packaging.. nothing is out of the plastic yet. But, this is what you can expect if you order this board.

Well, I know there are better pictures out on the net than this.. but I'm just excited. Now if I only had my case and ram!!

Take care,

I'm suprised how much excitement there has been over this board (there's even a website devoted solely to this board now! ) !

Got mine today too, havn't installed it yet. It's sitting in the box next to me with two 256MB of TwinMOS PC-3200. Got some RAMsinks for the mosfets around here too, can't wait to get this board installed.

lol- the box art is cool, the Chinese lettering & color scheme look schweet.

heheh.. sweet. Yeah thats the only major flaw with the board. Now active cooling on the Bridges and mosfets. You have a link for some appropriately sized sinks for the bridges and mosfets? And fans?


Also the RAM slots and AGP Slot's being close sucks too.

But functionality wise, the card is the best of the bunch so far.

I like it.. obviously.

I'm waiting on my corsair pc 3500 to come in, and that pesky little thing called a case =)
