What’s Included

• 1 x Motherboard
• 1 x Backplate
• 1 x Data Cable

Notes on Availability and Build Details

• No retail packaging included
• The battery will be removed prior to shipping (batteries are prohibited by CN post/custom rules)
• New old stock variants are sent randomly; batch differences may affect appearance and port/slot color or layout
• Due to batch variations, memory slot colors or SATA port positions may differ slightly
• This platform requires a capable power supply—minimum 500W recommended

Ideal Use Cases
