Where can I get the accessories for the ASUS P5B Deluxe/WIFI?

i know this may seem abit out of the ordinary or i dont know if this is the right place, but i was hoping someone here might know.

as alot might know, wen buying this motherboard retail, u get everything in it. but whe it comes to an OEM product, u dont really get anything, besides the motherboard itself:d

so i was wondreing if anyone might know if it is possible to obtain the following:

UltraDMA 133/100/66 cable
FDD cable
SATA cables
SATA power cables
I/O Shield
User's manual
USB2.0 port module
3 in 1 Q-connector
IEEE1394 port module
InterVideo® Media Launcher (OEM version)
Optional Fan for Water-Cooling or Passive-Cooling only
ASUS WiFi-AP Solo omni-directional antenna
Array Mic

this is all from the retail version of the ASUS P5B Deluxe/ WIFI edition, and as is aid, if possible to gain those item from anywhere or from ASUS as i prefered.

i would realy appreciate it if ayone, anyone can help me out with this as soon as possible.

thanks very much. i didnt quite know where else to mention this.

These are easily obtainable from places like newegg or a local shop:

UltraDMA 133/100/66 cable
FDD cable
SATA cables
SATA power cables

These you are likely only going to find in a retail box and nowhere else:

I/O Shield
User's manual
USB2.0 port module
3 in 1 Q-connector
IEEE1394 port module
InterVideo® Media Launcher (OEM version)
Optional Fan for Water-Cooling or Passive-Cooling only
ASUS WiFi-AP Solo omni-directional antenna
Array Mic


Basically all the cool stuff...

I would recomend always buying motherboards retail.

Other things like processors, video cards, and hard drives OEM is no real problem but motherboards require all the fasteners to assemble "correctly" and a manual really helps besides its worth the money for all the cool toys and the warrenty is nice to have.

send them an email asking if you can purchase the parts that go with the motherboard.

well i tired, but it wants me to fill all these fields which i dont really have or know what to put.

i just want to email or message to them directly and to see if they can send me all those parts to me, exactly what u woudl get in the retail version of the motherboard.

does anyone know where that can be possible then?

i am thinking of buying a new OEM motherboard and wanting to get the parts and manuals from ASUS.

Not a good plan. the whole idea behind buying OEM is that you know you won't need all that stuff. If you buy OEM and then the accessories, a lot of the time, it will be roughly equal to retail price.

I would be willing to bet it would cost more to buy an OEM and accessories seperate.

The only time I would recomend a OEM motherboard is as a replacement for the same board in retail if it were to break and you were satisfied with the product and any warrentys were void.

Otherwise your buying a bike without any pedals.
