Intel BOXDH61HO LGA 1155 Intel H61 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Cheap, low end low power 1155, no shenanigans, it is what it is.

Cons: I think I got a DOA model.. I paired this with a low power i3 and intel 320 series SSD thinking I'd have a good combination for compatibility. 8gb of Kingston value ram 1333 as well (2x4gb).
Troubleshooting: updated bios, ssd FW is up to date. drivers up to date. 3 clean installs of windows8pro oem.
System will hang at post randomly, as well as windows will try to repair itself after almost every reboot. This will force the system into a loop and create a phone call as to why the PC isn't coming back up.

I will more than likely be RMAing this board, as I would assume this isn't typical operation.

Other Thoughts: Overall, if this board did operate how it was supposed to, For the money its hard to beat.

I purchased this for a budget build for a friend of mine who had done some mechanic work for me. The system showed a few signs of potential error when installing but I figured it was just some windows 8 hiccups.

Hopefully this is just my experience, as most of the Intel products I have purchased in my lifetime have been extremely high quality and rarely DOA

Pros: Great Value Board, accepts i5 chips, Intel CPU/Chipset/board makes for a reliable compatible base.

Cons: non, comes with a pci express slot if you need better graphics, i went nvidia for that and I'm very happy with the setup

Other Thoughts: an 3ghz i5 chip with 8gb gives this board solid 6.8 -6.9 marks (out of 7.9) on win 7 "Windows experience" charts you could go with a higher end i7 chip but I would recommend a different board for that

Pros: Worked as expected.

Cons: None

Pros: Tiny, tiny little mobo
Ivy bridge support
Fast as heck

Cons: Only having a VGA port on this thing should be criminal.

Other Thoughts: I ended up replacing this board quickly because of that - a shame, because I managed to tune the bios down to 5-6 second boot times. If you only need VGA, this board is perfect. If it's the base for a HTPC, grudgingly look elsewhere.

Pros: The price was right. I haven't been able to boot, waiting on my new CPU (see Cons), but it appears to have a good feature set for the price.

Cons: Be aware that this board has a 65W CPU power limit. It will not work with a large number of the Core i5 and i7 processors. Check your CPU power requirements first!

Also, the board only has one fan header besides the CPU fan header and only two SATA ports.

Other Thoughts: Seems like a good board at a nice price, but be aware if it's limitations.
