Question Extra things that come with a motherboard

Well I got myself a MSI GNB MAX-i7205 with lots of features surpassing my usage and surpassing the ASUS p4G8X. It has firewire, Gb LAN, Serial ATA RAID, AGP8X, 5.1 Channel audio, Wireless LAN pc 2 pc and bluetooth pc 2 pc and this DBracket2 connects using cables to the mobo-which is a real time diagonostic tool using LED's which is good and bad. The good its very accurate, the bad(I built it so that it fits at one of the metal openings for placing PCI (there is a 2ft cable) so PCI is currently not in use.

Now I do not know if the WLAN and the Bluetooth work. So does anyone knows if it works? How does it work? Anyone has expereinced with this kind of motherboard? Do I need to buy a router if I want to use the WLAN?

The bluetooth works with any bluetooth device-I have done it but on cell phones to cell phone acc.

What other extra stuff that's not "cliche" found on a motherboard?

hi
yes, to use the wireless lan you would need an access point (wireless version of the router).
