Stupid Question About Board Connections

[Drakos4eva]

Hey people, ive just got a quick question, when you buy a mobo does it come with the connections you need to hook it up to hard drives cdrom etc? the board im going with is msi k8n if that makes a difference

they usually come with sata cables, ide cables floppy cables, and a couple of molex connectors. the cables usually depend on the manufacture

Every mobo I've bought (3) has come with a floppy, hd, and optical drive cable. I'd expect that one to have them also, probably a Serial ATA cable if the board supports it also.

ya that board will have it dont worry

Definately, I've bulit lots of systems and every mobo came with all the necessary hardware, ie cables, standoffs, screws, etc.

No matter how little you spent, as long as it's the retail package, you get everything you need to install it. Might be a good idea to pick up some rounded cables, but those can wait until you've got it running at least.

my MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum 54G came with:

 

2 x SATA (orange)

1 x ATA (red rounded)

1 x floppy cable (red rounded)

Molex to 2x SATA power adaptor cable

 

amongst other things... that's what it came with in regard to drives...
