ECS GF8200A Black Motherboard Review Bundle

Bundle


ECS decided to go for the minimalist approach with their bundle to save costs. As the 8200A Black is designed to be sold for under $70 USD, the bundle is easily explained as hitting the target market. There are two SATA Data cables, the IO Shield and the Driver CD. That’s enough to build a basic computer which the GeForce 8200A is targeted to. There is no additional software on the Driver CD besides the drivers.
