I guess that might be the reason it's the cheapest board you found................

My MSI P45 Platinum motherboard came with too MANY cables, had 4 SATA cables, 1 IDE cable, 1 Floppy cable, M-Connectors (same as Asus' Q-Connectors), 2 Molex to SATA adpaters, 1 Crossfire cable and 1 Firewire/USB back panel expansion card. All the MSI motherboards I've used came with at least a SATA cable (for the really inexpensive motherboards) a IDE and floppy cable. I doubt there is any manufacturer that sells retail motherboards without cables; no one would buy from them if that was the case, and last I checked a lot of people still buy MSI.
Whenever you get a motherboard, regardless of the manufacturer, make sure you read reviews as they will almost always mention what type of problems you may encounter with them.
