Layout






Underneath that bridge you'll find the Highpoint HPT372 RAID controller flanked on the right by the 2 red IDE ports it controls. All four IDE ports are horizontally oriented and I prefer them vertical but it's no huge issue. The floppy connector is all that's left underneath the RAID controller ports.

Lastly, we have the POST monitor display, a 2 digit hex readout in lovely red (someone put a blue one on, be daring!). The ATX case headers are well laid out and very well labelled and I didn't need to consult with the manual to set the board up.
