S/N # FU068****
8 screws on bottom
yes it has the set screw in the expansion bay.

My question is, all of the FAQs I see about finding what version you have say if the s/n is U (whatever) it's a (whatever). I'm thrown off by the F in the start of my s/n. Do I just ignore it? Ultimately, I know I'm going to have to look at the motherboard to be accurate but I confused by the F.

Thanks.

You have a V5 PS2........... The V6 is just a V5 version with the motherboard connector for the front panel button connecting ribbon reversed.
