Totally MSI provided the Big Bang Xpower II with ten angled SATA ports which should be enough for any High-End PC or gaming system. You'll also find practical onboard power- and reset-buttons, whereas the power button can be found on the right hand side of the board and the reset button is on the bottom edge of the PCB. You'll also find a debug display which would be very useful if you should once have issues with one of the components in your system.

 

Totally you'll find six fan header on the Big Bang Xpower II which is more than enough, to provide a well equipped midrange or high-end-system with fresh air. The fanheaders are located around the CPU socket as well as at the bottom edge of the mainboard.

  

Looking at the external connectors directly at the back-panel MSI equipped the Big Bang Xpower II with four USB 3.0/2.0 ports, one FireWire port, two Intel gigabit ethernet ports, an optical out as well as an analogue audio panel. Furthermore there also is a BIOS reset button.
