After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.

Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com

So far every Soltek motherboard is bundled with a variety of items and documentation including a driver CD, system utility disk with full version programs like Drive Image Pro and Partition Magic, users manual, thermal probe, and drive cables (ATA100 & Floppy), everything you will need to install and setup your motherboard.
