Great motherboard
Pros: The layout of this motherboard is great. Got everything plugged in properly and working fine. The onboard ATI 760 chipset actually played some of my games! Got all my front panel USB working. I think this is my first Gigabyte board and I'm really happy with it. Good and solid so far.
Cons: Only two fan connectors is a bit of a downer, but easy enough to work around. Also there's some bogus heat sensor - I never figured out what it's supposed to be on - that regularly read 70-80+ celcius under idle load. Couldn't find anything that hot by hand.
Overall Review: I'm using this as a piecemeal upgrade. Took everything from my old system - IDE optical and SATA hard drives, AMD x2 64 4000+ cpu, 2GB 800mhz RAM, 500W green power, even my SB Audigy soundcard - and put it on this board along with a secondhand Radeon HD 2900xt as my first foray into PCI-e x16 system. This platform will serve me for awhile since I can upgrade the CPU to AM3 Phenom II, the video to a 2.0 card, more RAM at 1066, etc.
Great travel mouse
Pros: Precise pointing, good size and fit for hand. The interior storage for the microreceiver works great.
Cons: After awhile the cover latch for the battery/receiver storage wore out so if I drop it it pops open. Probably from me dropping it so much.
Pros: Fit well, pretty comfortable. Decent sound (I'm no audiophile)
Cons: Can't withstand a five year old stomping on it
Pros: Love this stuff - I put it on every heatsink I come across.
Cons: No good on toast
Pros: Clips on, seems sturdy enough
Cons: none
Pros: Good, solid stick of RAM.
Cons: none
