Unhappy Asus M2N68-AM Issue!!

They are solid motherboard and have those great Japanese capacitors on them but I am not sure what Asus was thinking, those motherboard do not have chassis fan connectors on them. I ordered 50 of them and they are all the same. Called Asus the guys had no clue why the boards was made as such. I did send an email to my regional rep regarding it. Very annoying having to convert the small pins to molex and I don't feel like paying for the adapters.

I recently did a build with the vanilla M2N68 and it had a reasonable amount of fan headers. Why they removed these on the AM version doesn't really make sense.

Good job. Not worth the time for me, I would have to do this on too many. Asus is dumping this motherboard.
