Why is the board so crooked? Doesn't seem too "professional" to me.

Zooming in you can clearly see there is only one screw, the one at the bottom left of the ram slots. I'm not sure I would buy from a company that is so careless with stock photos.

It is the vendor. They ran out of screws to fit the board. It must be suspended on just one or two.

The photographer should be fired, or shot, or both. This is their high resolution version. http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/1467/sp6004bcer9.jpg And why is the battery missing?

So much wrong with this.

If it's got "Extra space between mainboard plate and side panel to hide cables", then why didn't they do that, rather than drape the cables over the motherboard.

And why bother installing the CPU cooler when they couldn't be bothered installing any RAM or GPU.

Incredible.

The PSU is not screwed in. And the motherboard I/O backpanel is missing. The sheer amount of laziness and failure to make it professional-looking is making my head hurt.

Indeed it does: screws on the 5 1/4 bays, the hard drive sleds...

But it's missing the motherboard tray cutouts to route the PCI-e and 24 pin power cables on the right side of the motherboard.

The CPU fan is likely plugged in. It's right above the ATX connector. http://www.onda.cn/pro/images/produc..._front_big.jpg

Makes you also wonder why they used such an old board.
