Pros: Lots on a small board. Video and Audio/Sound through HDMI works great! No problems whatsoever. Easy installation.
Both ATI 5770 HDMI sound and onboard TA790GX sound can be switched in the sound menu (windows 7).
Cons: No ESATA ports! I fixed this by buying an ESATA front panel device (you must have AHCI enabled in the BIOS to do plug-n-play ESATA). ESATA > USB2.0 transfer speeds! :)
Other Thoughts: HTPC Gamer Specs: AMD Phenom 705e II X3 ATI Radeon 5770 - Dual slot, so it covers the mini PCI slot 4GB OCZ 1066 SATA HD and DVDRW Drive OCZ550FTY PSU Aprevia MicroATX Case
Running max settings on L4D2 smoothly.

Pros: HDMI out, great cost point, lot's of features, reliable brand
Cons: Biostar designed this with the only PCI-E 2 x 1 directly below the PCI-E 2 x 16 slot. So, what goes into pretty much every x16 slot? Hmmm, a graphics card with a fan maybe? The form factor of pretty much any modern graphics card will prevent the use of the PCI-E 2 x 1 slot...major bummer.
Other Thoughts: of course, awesome service from NewEgg...as expected :-)

Pros: Has everything I need and more. Very stable, no problems at all. Fits in any case.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: I always stayed away from micro MB's because I just had a personal issue where I felt they would not perform as good as a full size board. I was so wrong. This board is perfect. It runs everything I throw at it or connect to it without one hicup. No driver issues, no compatibilty issues, nothing!. I'm using the on-board graphics and find it's great for what I do. I don't play games but I test all kinds of software that put huge loads on it. It"s perfect. I love it. I have owned it for 3+ months now and can give it 5 eggs without hesitation. I'm running 4gb OCZ PC2 6400 SLI ready RAM with a Seagate 1TB drive & Vista 64Bit Ultimate. All bought at my favorite store ever NEWEGG!!!
