There are 3 more USB 2.0 headers to support 6 USB 2.0 ports for front panel.
There is a SPACE–Pipe onboard, a new silent north bridge cooling device. It uses a heat-pipe to conduct heat from the chipset heatsink to a PWM fin-heatsink collection module. Airflow from the CPU fan then removes the heat collected from the CPU, the chipset, and PWM fin-heatsink, effectively cooling your system with no additional noise. And all of this is based on advanced materials used in the space industry.

Western Digital ships 750 GB Serial ATA (SATA) WD Caviar SE16 desktop-class hard drives, which deliver high performance with 3 Gb/s transfer rate, 16 MB cache and Native Command Queuing (NCQ), 7,500 rpm and 4.20 ms average latency.
The SecurePark technology improves non-operational shock tolerance by ensuring that the recording heads never touch the disk surface, reducing head and surface wear and enhancing long-term reliability.
The hard drives also use a special technology, IntelliSeek, to reduce power consumption. It calculates an optimum seek speed to eliminate hasty movement of the actuator that produces noise and requires power, which is common in other drives.
Manufacturer's Suggest Retail Price (MSRP) for the WD Caviar SE16 750 GB is USD 249.

Gigabyte unveils a silent version of the GeForce 8600 GTS. It comes with Silent-Pipe 3, which combines three Gigabyte proprietary thermal designs: Silent-Pipe II, Silent-Pipe and Screen-Cooling (for entry-level cards). The solution is a natural convection inside the chassis to disperse heat. Utilizing a series of layered long and short fins with trapezoid punches, Silent-Pipe 3 transforms laminar (smooth) air flow into turbulent (rough) air flow inside the heat sink, increasing the heat exchange ratio and enhancing overall thermal performance.
- Chipset: GeForce 8600 GTS
- Memory: 256 MB GDDR3
- Memory Bus: 128 bits
- Bus Type: PCI-E 16x
- Outputs: D-SUB (By Adapter), TV-OUT, DVI
