hi, im thinkin of buying thi smother board evga nforce n680i however i need to installa floppy disk drive and i dont think it has any slots, here are its tech specs, am i right or wrong?

1 x 20pin (V)
1 x 4pin Fan (V)
1 x 8pin (V)
1 x IDE
1 x IEEE1394
4 x Memory Slots
6 x SATA II
1 x Serial (COM) Header
1 x SPDIF-Out Header
2 x USB2.0/1.1 Header
 
Floppy header will probably be abreviated as FDD. According to your list there is not one there. I had a quick look at an image and it does not seem to have a floppy header... you can always use a USB one....
 
Yes, you should, once you enabled booting from a USB device (in BIOS)
The way I did it was: connect the floppy drive, with the PC running or not. Then boot (or reboot) and go into the BIOS. In boot priority, elect the floppy drive as the first device, CD-ROM as second and then your first (or only) hard drive. That's that.
 
It has a floppy connector according to the specs on eVGA's website, and in this review. It is turned 90 degrees, but eVGA has their logo on the side. It's at the edge of the board, a little ways down from the lone IDE connector. It is hard to see, given the connector is black and the motherboard PCB color is also black.
