Pros: Excellent MB. I am using it in a HTTP build. First MB was DOA. Newegg exchanged it with no problem.

Cons: I had to pay shipping on return DOA. That negated the price saving I obtained by purchasing from Newegg.

Pros: Excellent MB. I would add "for the money" but even without those words, I would still say it is a great, well-laid-out mother board! It runs quiet and not too hot. Perfect for general to moderate PC use!

Cons: Can't think of any except the difficulty attaching the front panel wires to their pins. Because of the mid-tower case, space was very limited and it was difficult to get done without a new tool.

Other Thoughts: I will buy Gigabyte for my next build as well!

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: 1st computer I put together myself, manual instructions were easy to follow. This was the bundle with the AMD Athlon x2 3.1ghz cpu.

Cons: After 2 weeks of it working the sound all of a sudden died. I tried reinstalling the drivers, reformatted the whole computer, and yes my speakers were plugged in....

Other Thoughts: I'm sure this is an isolated incident but having to take apart a 3 week old computer is annoying nonetheless
