Gigabyte GA-K8VNXP Review @ Bjorn3D

Here is something that has never sat well with me ever since I first saw it on an Albratron (almost Gigabyte) motherboard.
"However, this one little thing that could be a negative aspect of this layout actually turned out to be a positive one once I realized that having the floppy connector located there prevents the ugly, air-blocking floppy cable from being strewn across the motherboard. In other words, when the motherboard is installed, the floppy connector ends up being close to where the floppy drive usually is in a mid-tower case."
Don't get me wrong the floppy is almost dead and really the location of the connector prolly doesn't matter much but the way I see it, why bother putting it on the board to begin with if the connector is under the last PCI slot?
