Can you read anywhere from it what make and model it is?

Will then be much easier for us to tell you what it has.

If not/as it is, I am doing my best on the picture you sent. Hard to tell though because of picture quality and I'm not too sure on the orientation..

@ Any other potential responder -
Nothing wrong with the image, I have it saved on my desktop, completely legit.

(Mean no harm by that manoj kumar, its just that some people ask questions and try to make us visit malicious sites or download something illegit.)

A = Capacitors, they're fixed to the motherboard ad you don't need to have anythingto do with them.
B = North Bridge / South Bridge Chipset, not sure which, depends on orientation/model.
C = Universal AGP Pro slots
D = Might be jumpers or a PCI-E slot (But really hard to tell with the quality of the pic)
E = PCI slots
F = Looks just like I/O connections for the back of PC (Pic quality an issue)
G = USB and Floppy connectors (To the right, and also below - which you didn't query on - are IDE connectors)
H = *?Less than 240 pin RAM slots?* (hard to tell due to pic quality..)
I = 240 pin RAM slots
J = Opposite of B
K = Think it's just IC (pi quality agian..), again like the capacitors this is soldered onto mobo, needs nothing done to it.
L = CPU retention bracket

That's what I think anyway.

Picture quality makes it very hard to tell on some of them.

This looks very much like a college assignment.. so here comes the speel:

Here at Computer Juice, we are happy to promote the education of users, especially in these interesting and more challenging areas.

Also, that image is way too small to view easily.

Ah, yes that didn't cross my mind what it was for..

But my answer may well be inaccurate seeing as the image is fairly shoddy once enlarged to a point where one can actually see anything.

Now you say it SG, a word document marked up with an area on the side for answers.. what are the chances someone did that for us, seeing as it's uploaded an image so we couldn't type that in anyway

Yes you should do work yourself.

If you come back though, and are having difficulty, I will be happy to provide images say, of what various slots look like, or explain what does what.

But if that's an assignment not a general wonderment, even if I did get it all right from that small image, answers like "capacitors" will be way to vague to pass.
