Pros: Very good onboard sound, no need for an add in card. The PCI Express slot for my video card sits higher than my 939 Asus Mobo, so my Nvidia GT 260 no longer interferes with my hard drive cage. Super stable so far, and Intel is very quick with bios releases. If you don't plan to overclock, and want a quality stable board, this is for you.
Cons: None so far
Other Thoughts: Specs: Intel I5-750 MSI Twin Frozr GT 260 2 WD Black 640 GB Plextor 880 SA DVD burner Lian-Li PC-61
I have a duel slot GT 260 twin frozr video card, and Im able to remove memory just fine albeit its a little tight. I know some reviews complained it was a problem for them.

Pros: This board worked correctly the FIRST TIME with 2 kits (G-Skill F3-10666CL7D-4GBRH) & the i7 860. Run's cool, doesn't suck a bunch of juice & its suprisingly stable. (I've always had good luck with Intel boards) Lots of BIOS options (for overclocking & such). However, if you want to buy this board for overclocking, I'd advise getting something with more power phases.
Cons: The LAN had problems connecting with my D-link gigabit switch. Tried different cables and drivers with no luck. So I plugged it into a Netgear switch and I don't have connection issues anymore... I honestly don't know what that was about but I'm not going to blame that on Intel (for now).
Other Thoughts: There is an annoying white light coming from the motherboard when the system is off. I don't know if I can turn that off or not. I upgraded the bios and the "bling light" option is removed so I guess I'll have to get over it. :-P I didn't mark down an egg for the LED. I'm still very satisfied.

Pros: For a midrange LGA 1156 system, this board has almost everything you need, and nothing you don't. Well-built. SATA ports plug in parallel with the board rather than perpendicular to it, which is fantastic. Omits legacy stuff like PATA and PS/2, which most people won't need anyway.
Cons: No eSATA port. Not a big deal if you pair this with a case that has one up front, but it seems like an odd omission.
Other Thoughts: Not really built to be an overclocker's board, but the BIOS configuration will let you tinker to your heart's content.
