The bundle is austere by any measure, with the hardware bundle consisting of a single SATA cable, an IDE cable, a COM1 port bracket and the Rear IO shield. This is enough to get the new user started but not enough to run a basic RAID array, which this board supports through the ATI AHCI controller and a Silicon Image Sil3132 chip.
