I got 2 motherboards of these ASUS P2B-N. But I am missing some parts , Where can I goto get replacement parts. ( I have the riser card for both boards and also have 2 X 450 pIII to go along with them.)


Here is some usefull info I found while doing some searching.

1st.
NLX Form Factor
NLX is intended for low-profile PC's. NLX systems uses a riser board, similar to the LPX form. The riser boards sits vertically in the case and is connected directly to the power supply. Each of the expansion cards connect directly to this riser board, as well as the HDD and FDD connectors that usually reside on the motherboard itself. So, basically, the riser card is the hub of the NLX system, with everything connecting to it. Even the NLX motherboard can simply be removed from its slot on the riser card and replaced.


An NLX motherboard looks different than that of AT of ATX. The first thing you'll notice is that it has no expansion card slots nor does it have any drive connectors. As said before, all this has been moved to the riser card. Also, you will notice a 340-pin connector on the side of the motherboard. This is what interfaces with the riser card. Like ATX, the I/O connectors are on a panel on the rear of the board, and like ATX, this part of the board sticks out of the case so you can connect your USB, parallel and serial devices to the NLX system. The power supply looks similar to that of an ATX machine, and connect to the motherboard via a 20-pin connector. It has a single exhaust fan which happens to be also placed near where the CPU is placed on the motherboard, so that the power fan can help cool the NLX system.

NLX

NLX is an industry-wide open specification for a space-saving computer motherboard. The NLX specification defines the motherboard size, hole mounting locations, riser card location, and maximum component heights on motherboard. Companies such as IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Digital Equipment, Sony, NEC, Toshiba, Gateway, and Fujitsu support NLX.


Traditionally a computer technician had to open the computer case using tools, but an NLX case is tool-free. Another feature of the NLX specification is the motherboard itself. It rests on rails and simply slides out without any screws to unscrew or card to remove. The motherboard plugs into a riser card that sits at a 90-degree angle from the motherboard. A riser card is an expansion card that physically extends a slot for more expansion cards. When the motherboard is removed, the riser card stays in place. This allows a technician to replace a motherboard or upgrade a component on the motherboard in about 30 minutes instead of the usual two hours, saving the customer money. NLX motherboards support current and future processor technologies, the Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP), and tall memory technology. NLX is beneficial because it improves access to components, supports new technology, and lowers the cost of ownership.




The ASUS P2B-N is a mainboard based on the NLX form factor. Featuring the Intel 440BX Chipset, the P2B-N can support Intel Pentium III / Pentium II / Celeron. The mainboard has been designed to support many features such as onboard ATi 3D Rage Pro AGP 2X Video, ESS Solo-1 3D Sound, and Hardware Monitoring. It also comes with UltraDMA/33 function provided for faster hard disk access. This is a NLX form factor motherboard and requires a NLX Riser Card for operation. A NLX Riser Card is not included.

First ya gotta get a case for them. Then you buy your riser card.

Can you read I got the riser card and case I am missing some cables.

What kind of cables, you left that out YET AGAIN! and you wonder why no one reads these posts

so WHAT KIND OF CABLES!
