Well, it's all assembled save the 1G of RAM which BTW will not be here until Wednesday 12/3/03. It all fit quite nicely with the second psu fan pointing inward toward the cpu. There is about 1/4" clearance between the psu and the very tall Coolermaster hsf combo. Asus did a great job of laying this board out. The power connector is a bit close to the primary IDE channel but it's not a big deal. The CMOS battery and jumpers are buried behind the drive bays but hopefully I'm not in there too often.

It's so roomy not having any pci or agp cards in the way. Asus also though of the overclocker and put four mounting holes in the mobo around the zif socket. You could mount a massive cooling system on this board.

The nVidia 220D chipset also has it's own little heatsink. It's not that much smaller than those used on the old p133's and such! It too sits out by itself with lots of room for air circulation. I always round my ide cables and tuck everything away nicely so cooling shouldn't be a problem inside. I'm still researching the Asus ipanel under Linux.

There is an update to the manual for the jumpers on this board that is available at the Asus site but it was included with my manual as an inserted page.
