I want to show you a few of these things before I
move on to the layout of the board itself…
Here's the CBox 2 that I mentioned, it fits into
a 5 ¼ drive bay and sports 4 USB 2.0 ports,
a Firewire port, a headphone jack and a mic jack.
The screen on the left is the LED readout for the
POST codes. Like EPoX and a couple of other manufacturers,
Chaintech has included an 80 code status display that
reports the boot status. Rather than a series of beeps
from a speaker, errors during POST can easily be traced
by reading the 2 digit code and looking it up on the
chart that is included in the manual, and provided
on a sticker that can be adhered to your case.
The round cables are high quality, very pliable and
long enough to fit most any full sized ATX server
tower. Not to mention that they match the PCI slots
and IDE headers. Nice detail for those with case windows
The Value Pack 2002 CD comes with full versions of
Norton Antivirus 2002 and a few other helpful programs
and utilities. It's nothing to write home about, but
it's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick...
This is an example of the DigiDoc
interface. DigiDoc is Chaintech's version of
Mother Board Monitor with on screen access to important
information like temps, voltages and fan speeds. A
must for any serious overclocker
Chaintech seems to be saying "Thank you for
purchasing our product" with a keychain. What
a nice gesture, kind of like the bank offering me
an ice chest for opening a checking account or peanuts
on an airplane. Just another way that Chaintech has
paid attention to detail with this bundle
