The board comes with 3 PCI, 2 PCIe x 16 slots (4x + 16x) and 2 PCIex1 slots. On the top left you would see the realtek audio codec chip and 2 GbE controller chips. On the sides are the yellow USB connectors for external brackets. On the rigght hand side of the mainboard, we could see the heatpipe connecting it to the north bridge and south bridge of the board.
On the bottom left, we can see the Jmicron JMB363 chip which governs the 1 PATA + 2 SATA (1 on board and the other as a eSATA). The South bridge controls the rest of the 6 SATA II ports. On the right are 4 DDR2-800 DIMM slots which is capable of supporting up to 8GB of memory
The back panel consists ofPS/2 Keyboard and Mouse, 1 COM port, 4 USB ports, eSATAl, 2 GbE and 7.1 ch audio ports.

Very nice review. Did notice on pages 4 and 5 of the intro, the bios pages are both labeled 'Chipset'.
