I find myself having to fill out a combination spreadsheet/checklist every time I look at the offerings from my favorite online vendors. The local bricks-and-mortar stores are hopeless when it comes to motherboards (and pretty much everything else for that matter). Since my drivers are in a separate case it never occurred to me that lacking an internal connector would be a disadvantage:-)
