My first impression with an ASUS board (CUV4X) was good except for one nagging factor. They were either too lazy or too cheap to integrate the second com ports right beside the first on the atx edge. But rather put as a header on the board and mounted it on a bracket to take up an expansion slot. Looking at some other models I saw that they had put both coms on the atx edge(what ever the proper name for it is). IMHO that really sucks.
