Very Happy

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Great quality board. Everything well marked and easy to work with. Loved the Q Connect system - hate dealing with all those front panel cables. Manual very clear and informative. Excellent DVD with all drivers and auxiliary software. BIOS easy to update and change settings. Q Shield (backplate) solidly constructed.
Cons: Minor - Backplate very snug in my older tower case. Really needed a good firm push in two spots to get it to seat evenly. Also, placement of ATX power connection not ideal for me. Butts up against my removable drive cage making removal tricky (watch those cables). May not be a problem for others.
Other Thoughts: Really like this board so far. Glad I spent a few extra dollars to replace the crummy ECS board I RMA'd. Thanks Newegg.

Tech Level Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: Everything was easy to install. The CD that came with the board was easy to navigate and pull off only the drivers that I wanted. Booted up second try.
Cons: no complaints here
Other Thoughts: for a first time computer builder everything went smooth.
