Hey, guys.
I was doing cable management the other day with all those pesky unused power wires, fan wires, Case LEDs, USB, and Firewire ports, etc. since I just installed Floppy and DVD drive, and
RAM is gonna come soon and I wanted to have wired clear from those slots.
While I was doing so I noticed a few things with my motherboard which I'm sure is fine, but just seem a little bit awkward to me. These include what looks like a missing pin in the floppy port, and a couple other things (I don't have the motherboard with me to make sure I list everything I noticed).
Anyway, I have tried going to Newegg to find my motherboard's stock photo, just to confirm that I am, in fact, crazy, and that nothing's wrong. The weird thing is, my motherboard is no longer listed on Newegg! There was such an awesome stock photo there, too, it was high-res and labeled so I could tell everything was where it was supposed to be... but no go! It's kinda odd, because Newegg sold that motherboard for quite a long time before I bought it a few months ago.
It was the
ASUS P5B Deluxe WiFi-AP Edition motherboard. I looked at the stock photo on the ASUS site, but it's way to low-res, even zoomed in.
I'm wondering if anybody can have better luck than me finding high-res stock photos of this motherboard so I can compare... I don't know why I didn't do it before, but I digress.
Also, am I just crazy or does Newegg really not list that motherboard anymore? I could only find the regular P5B Deluxe!
Edit: Okay, it's confirmed that Newegg is no longer selling the WiFi-AP Edition of the P5B Deluxe. I found an old link I had to it and here's what Newegg has to say:
We apologize for the inconvenience, but the item you are looking for has been deactivated...
And then it takes me to "similar items." Hmph. Newegg did always have a bad habit of stopping selling products I bought or had in my wish list. Mainly sound cards. Those are recycled literally every few days. Don't even keep them in my wish list anymore...
