Please Help, I'm not sure of what to do with this motherboard

First off all, happy Thanksgiving! (kinda late but it's all good)

I got this motherboard from my uncle (he doesn't need it no more and I like to salvage working computer parts and build it up from there, just a hobby) and I got this case from Fry's (I waited from 1700 on Thursday all the way to 0400 on Friday).

So happy me, started putting the motherboard inside my new case, got the GPU in and then the PS in. After that, I'm stuck.

The problem is... I don't have the motherboard's manual so I don't know what most of the sockets are for (unless it's idiot proof).

So it would be really nice if you guys can find me a manual for this motherboard or tell me what each sockets are for (I don't think this motherboard has all the sockets my new case requires. As in extra USB ports and stuff, but of course I can be completely wrong).

Here are the pictures:

I think I have the RAM for it, I gotta check. I got this case at Fry's for 50 bucks (minus 50 bucks mail-in-rebate and it's free). I kinda feel like it's a waste putting this motherboard and all it's component into this case though. Such a nice case for low end components.

Thank you StrangleHold! You're the shit! It says ASUS on the MOBO but I didn't even see it. Idiot me. Thanks again!

lol don't feel bad, just call it a legacy build! Everything was top-of-the-line at one point or another. Just imagine...one day we'll scoff at Core2Quads and wonder how we ever did anything with them.

My first computer had, if I remember correctly, an 8MB hard drive. My smalled thumb drive is 128MB. And remember...people might ooh and aah at Vista, but behind it all lurks the shadowy figure known as MS-DOS, which still calls all the shots. I remember when we had to deal with that tough bastard ourselves.
 
Hahahaha. Alright, legacy build it is. My friends and I call this thing a "riced computer" and call my SLI a "sleeper computer". 8MB hard drive... how long ago was that? I started to get a little into computer when I was in 7th grade and I got a Compaq Pentium 3.

I can't wait to see what hits the market when I'm 30 or so and have actual money. Of course, by then, I'll also probably have a house, mortgage, wife, kid....nah, I'll just go for the computer.

Hehe, I used to say that to. Now I have the wife, mortgage, but no kids, and do not want any.

Now I have to ask permission to build a new computer, :( So just have girlfriends, no wifes.
