Asus CUSL2-C owners, please check your board and give feedback!

I just purchased a new Asus CUSL2-C board and something has me a little concerned. Instead of the model name (CUSL2-C) being stamped on the PCB itself, between the pci slots, it's just a little white sticker. I have built lots of computers over the last couple years, and used lots of Asus boards, but this is new to me. Every board I have ever used had the name/model stamped on the PCB. I can't find anything on the board itself that says it's a CUSL2-C except for that little sticker that looks like something I printed on my Label-Maker in 2 seconds. Do you guys have this too? Also, where is your serial# located on yours? Mine is a sticker on the side of the very last slot (CNR.

I bought it from a reputable company, but this still seems weird. I built a T-Bird system with a new Asus A7V just last week and it had the model/name stamped on the board. What do you guys think?

Do you have the sticker instead of the stamp? Where is your Serial# located?

Mine has a little stick says "CUSL2-C" too. There is a big ASUS stamped on the board though. Mine is CUSL2-c i think. The chipset is intel 815e. It has one CNR slot at the very bottom. What else do u need?

All CUSL2-Cs are like that, it seems that Asus has done this in order to save manufacturing costs as the CUSL2 and -C models have the exact same PCB layout, with only modifications to the chipset. Hence, the use the existing ones and stamp on the sticker.

Yeah I guess if I pulled of that sticker, it would say CUSL2 underneath the "C" sticker.
