Pros: Despite the negative reviews (which alot stem from people trying and failing to overclock their board), I bought this because I've had 2 ASUS boards previous and never had a single problem. This board simply met my expectations, which were very high from past ASUS products. Plugged everything in, turned it on, and not a single problem. SLI was a joke to get going. Plugged the two cards in (EVGA 9800GT's), connected them via the SLI cord, and once the cards drivers were installed, it was simply a matter of a button click to get it going. Supplied audio card was nice, and works great.

Cons: It was a very tight squeeze to fit the audio card and the first video card in, but it got in there. May not fit larger cards, although typically the bulk of a video card is on the underbelly, and not the side facing this card. Pushpin motherboards are a pain to install, and most everyone would rather have screws over pushpins. The only con on the board I can see is that there is only 1 4-pin fan connector (the CPU) - I had to do some fancy spider-wiring to get it and the 3 case fans I have going.

Overall Review: Tried to install an OS on SATA drives using an old CD I had (Windows SP1) - this caused a worrysome blue screen of death scenario: it installed windows fine, but when it tried to boot it up, hard drive errors. Retried an install with an SP3 CD and worked fine. SP1 just doesn't have the drivers (even with a boot disk made from the supplied CD). Zero problems so far.

Pros: Not much to say here - it's just a plastic 2.5" to 3.5" adapter. Works as intended.

Cons: None

Pros: Coupled with a Netgear WNDR3700v3, this thing gets 144 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz channel, and 300 Mbps on the 5GHz (my router tops out at 300). Speedtest results on either channel are near identical. 2.4 GHz gets 5 bars, 5 GHz gets 4 bars - the router is stationed about 30 feet away.

Cons: The USB stand is a bit rickity (it stands up on its own, but isn't level), and the cable to it isn't terribly long.

Overall Review: If I was at a longer distance, this dongle may not be so great, but for my circumstances, it works just fine. I gather that the 5 GHz channel is only good for limited range. Luckily, 4 bars is more than enough for 300 Mbps.

Pros: Easy install, works great, very stable. With a XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 120mm Rifle CPU Cooler, keeps it at 34-36C under 60-70% load, in a 33C case. Haven't tried any OC yet, but with temperatures like that, it'll be a breeze.

Cons: Not even one.

Pros: This heatsink is keeping my CPU (under 60-70% load) at 34-36C in a case at 32C. Intel E8400. Didn't use the thermal paste it came with (although it could be just as good, I can't say), but used some Arctic Silver 3 I had. Haven't tried any overclocking yet, but clearly this thing would make it easy. Also, this thing is VERY quiet. Without the case fans going I can barely hear it, 4 feet away.

Cons: The excellent cooling comes at the price of (with my case and socket 775 motherboard) installing pushpins. Skinned two knuckles on the sharp fins getting it installed. Also had a bit of a time getting the fan on using those rubber anti-vibration pegs. Took an extra few minutes but went on fine. Also may not fit in some cases, but made it in mine (Antec SOLO)
