FWIW, my MSI "K7N2GM2-LSR" has an S/PDIF connector on the motherboard, but
it did not come with an S/PDIF bracket to connect to it -- the bracket was
optional. I found it surprisingly difficult to find one later... So just a
heads-up; if you are going to go with on-board audio make sure that you get
all of the connections that you'll need for your situation.
