Abit NF7-S Add on Firewire Card

[Guest]

Hello,

This is my very first AMD Athlon Motherboard and also very first Abit
Motherboard, anyways my concern is this, wheN i got the board back in
October, i didn't realize it was suppose to come with Firewire card and
usb bracket for the rear, and also seriallel ata adapter is another
thing I didn't have in the box. is there a place I buy them if I
wanted those items, without rmaing the board like Abit support told me,
and my local shop.


Thanks all

P.S. On cooling--would it be best to get shop to see if they can fit a
front fan in this case, and maybe a rear one also. (not sure about the
rear though, since ATX power cable would be right behind rear fan
area..originally that was tied off with a wire tie through the rear
possible fan mount, but I removed that, since I tried installing fan
myself once

Hi Patrick -

The two items you're talking about are quite pricey at Abit's retail
partner, ExcaliberPC...

The Firewire/USB2 connector is listed on page 1 and the Seriell2 adaptor is
listed on page 2:

Regarding your cooling question:
My opinion: a front fan blowing in on the lower front and a rear fan blowing
out at the upper rear are usually pretty good bets for effective case
cooling.

In my non-air conditioned Southern California house (where it gets quite hot
in the late summer), I also have a side fan blowing in and a top fan blowing
out -- my case had mounts for all four fans.... and a second rear fan space
if I need to make even more noise.

Return it to dealer, since those extras would cost you about $40!
