AMD / Asus M5A78L-M USB3 Motherboard Bundle

 

A well assembled and configured bundle. Excellent delivery from ADMI Limited, well under their estimate. The board itself is pretty small (compared to the one it replaced with was a dual PCIe model) but run well enough (Vista 64-bit) and cool enough....

ASUS M5A78L motherboard

 

Order arrived very promptly, disappointed to find that the CPU and fan had been mounted on the board and a hole had been cut in the top of the box to allow for the extra height of fan and CPU. I prefer to receive packaging as advertised. I have only...
