The main specs are from the maker's spec sheet; other details come from the shops' listings.

Expansion slots top to bottom, as the shops list them

  1. PCIe x16 full speed graphics card goes here
  2. PCIe x1 full speed

A long (x16) slot can be wired for fewer lanes. A graphics card fits, but in an x4 slot it runs slower, so always use the top slot for it.
