    Name that board...

    Can anyone identify this board please and any components in there. I thinks it ASUS and maybe Socket 478?

    I now own it and its on its way...in a Lian Li case to die for.....

          There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.

              Looks like an asus P4C or P4P series. I'm not an asus fan at all.....seen way too many of them with nothing detectably wrong with them, but they just don't work....hope yours is actually good.

                      Well I bought the case, the contents are a lucky dip....
                      I will keep you informed.... I'm going to build a machine for my boy...(and me)
                      The case is a nice piece of furniture 2004/5 vintage.

                          If you look around the board you'll find a model number.

                          That is a nice case. - Lots of air flow.

                                  Same here I've got an Asus where the internal NIC failed for no reason. It's been a year since I slapped a PCI NIC in there and it still works but I don't trust it anymore. Piece of Chinese junk!

                                  That's an Asus board.

                                          +2. Flaky crap. I've seen too many of 'em die a slow, painful death, even with good caps.

                                              100% sure it is ASUS, the word ASUS is right next to the cmos battery in the pic. :P

                                              99.9% sure that is a P4PE.

                                              Yes I love ASUS. :P

                                                          That case will take a full ATX board. The board thats in it is full ATX. It won't take an EATX, but thats nothing you have to worry about.

                                                              I gotta nice lil 800 FSB AOpen mini and a Gigabyte GA-8VM533M-RZ I dont really need a hot rod
                                                              Til I look at it dont know if it will take a full ATX board
                                                              if the board is DOA then it wont matter you will need a new board anyway and it will take waht ever the board uses but if this one works i am pretty sure its a 478 but wait and see till you get it
