ASUS includes one of the most impressive bundles in recent history with their P5W-DH Deluxe motherboard. The number of SATA cables is adequate with six ports cable available but only four cables are included with this motherboard, allowing for SATA RAID arrays to be formed with them. The IDE and FDD cables allow the user to take advantage of DVD drives and floppy disk drives.

The area where the bundle really shines is in the included accessories. The USB 2.0 module brings the total available out of the box to 6. There is also a Firewire module bringing the total on the board for those to two. MP3-In is a device to play MP3s on your onboard audio. Pretty cool idea, as you can play the MP3s even when the system is not on.

A defining characteristic of ASUS motherboards has always been the software bundles that are included with the motherboards. InterVideo makes the WinDVD DVD playback software. ASUS includes the MediaLauncher software pack which has WinRIP, WinDVD Creator and more. The second component of ASUS's bundle is the inclusion of Norton's Internet Security consisting of Norton's Anti-Virus and Personal Firewall.
