View source for Asus Pundit P4 P5G41 barebone

After one of our [[Shuttle K45 capacitor plague|Shuttle K45 barebones died]] from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague capacitor plague], we needed a replacement. We decided on the [http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=QIQzR86aDW5lDzI8 Asus P4 P5G41 barebone] ([[Media:E4524_p-p5g41(p5q8l)_scd.pdf|User's Guide]]), since the K45 also uses the 775 socket, so we could reuse the CPU, RAM and hard disk. I couldn't find any pictures of the insides, so here's some I took while assembling the system.

As I found out only today, Asus decided to build the system with only the most restricted ICH7 south bridge version, so there's no AHCI support.
