The Motherboard is a Foxconn A690VM2MA. It also has raid0 & 4 SATA conectors. 

For a cheap board it is not that bad but the manufactor  has issues  with quality.

There you said it here in Belgium it would cost  about  510  Euro that is about 750 USD 
to use those parts. That is because vendors do a simple conversion of aprox 1 Euro to 
1 USD and the rest they call profit... that is a 45 % markup on the US price.
