You'll struggle with this one, for sure

[Tarinder]

Make and model of this motherboard, please.

There's an obvious clue.

[DavidM]

Errrr... Asus motherboard perhaps?

[FatalSaviour]

Grrrr, side profile means I can't really get an idea of the colour of the PCB either....is it red?

[Tarinder]

It's a blue PCB.

There's a manufacturer's name on the I/O section.

[Mike Fishcake]

I saw Foxconn, but I just assumed it was the connectors that were made by them.

[DavidM]

They do actually make connectors as well.. although I was just being silly

[FatalSaviour]

I saw Foxconn and know they make connectors...but assumed that Tarinder wasn't being that mean ...knowing the colour narrows it down somewhat at least. Thx

[DR]

I know

[Odc]

Hmmmm its got an hdmi port so that narrows it down a lot.
Edit: Is it the Abit IL-80MV ? (Assuming that the connecters are just made by Foxconn lol)

[schmunk]

What's the orange port, looking like somebody's stamped on a USB port?

Edit:

Hmmmm its got an hdmi port so that narrows it down a lot.

Ahh... (we posted at the same time, so I'm not so stupied, honest...)

I thought the orange connection was the E-SATA we're starting to see on most motherboards now.

[FatalSaviour]

P9657AA-8EKRS2H? EDIT: On 2nd thoughts...perhaps not? EDIT2: On 3rd thoughts, it's the best I can come up, so I'll go with it

It's not HDMI
Tis' eSATA as Lee says

[Odc]

I suppose your right lol. Theres an hdmi port on my tv so I dont know how I guessed that lol

[awm]

Can't be too high end since it only has 1X ethernet, but not too low end since it has firewire and e-sata (orange which I've only seen for SATA 2).

[FatalSaviour]

Not necessarily....I don't know of tooooo many people that use both RJ45 ports tbh .

My reasons for the P9657AA-8EKRS2H was
1. New chipset...supports Core 2 Duo....getting pretty relevant...
2. 1 x RJ45
3. Firewire on the IO, which seem to be getting phased out on most mobos but not this one
4. eSATA, although this is getting a lot more common...

My guess is still the Foxconn P9657AA-8EKRS2H....could be wrong, but I can't see anything else on their site that matches so well

Seems to be a mark of a high end board. Just beacuse it's common doesn't mean its nessesary. I mean how many people use the full horsepwer of a Mercades or BMW?
