Multiple failures after 18 months

Reviewed By: Sunda on 8/8/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: more than 1 year

Pros: It worked well for 18 months.

Cons: After 18 months the on board sound card failed, two weeks later the motherboard burned the power supply and the video card and almost started a fire (some circuits were on fire).

Other Thoughts: The motherboard has too many configuration option and for many of them you get a threatening message saying that if you change something it may lock the motherboard in a way that can't be reversed.
