XFX bundles their motherboard with a single SATA Power cable, a SATA Data cable, a FDD cable, single IDE cable, the IO Shield, the manual and a Quick Install Guide. Not much of a bundle for a motherboard, but the GeForce 8200 is targeted at the under $100 price point. Budget motherboards tend to have small bundles and this is an example of how to save costs on such a motherboard.
