As a value ASUS board the M3N78 Pro comes with all of the accessories you need to get started and then some. The inclusion of Power and DATA cables for SATA drives is great as they have replaced the IDE drives and older Power Supplies do not necessarily have the necessary connections. The Q-Shield does the job of preventing cut fingers from sharp edges and the Q-Connector allows the user to connect the headers with ease.
