Pros: Read the fine print on the drive itself and follow those instructions for a hassle free and blazing fast build. I partitioned it put W2K SP4 on half of it in less than 30 minutes. It runs cool and quiet in my big case.

Cons: nada

Overall Review: The other partition will be used for Vista B2 as soon as I can fund a dvd burner. We will see if this 64 bit stuff really works! lol

Pros: Nice keyboard for the price.I would buy another for the other puter but.....

Cons: The mouse was defective. The right mouse button was stuck on. The only reason I didn't rma the whole thing was (1) cost of shipping, and (2) I needed the keyboard for that other puter.

Overall Review: Newegg rocks...I always get EGGCELENT service here.

Pros: Big beautiful and will keep your stuff cool. The Slot Latches are a bit tricky but they work well if you get the hang of it and you can always use a screw. I find the drive latches work as advertised with no problems at all... Truey a tooless case. You may not place a long optical drive in the top 5 1/4 slot as it will bump up against the top "front panel connectors". The reason this case gets a "5" is it is a great cooling solution that includes a dust filter! If you look around here at Newegg you will find many cases have windows and side panel vents. These things do little or nothing to cool the machine but allow dust to enter a machine that is constantly drawing air in just like a vacuam cleaner! This case is great because it has no vents on either side allowing air to enter the case ONLY through the front vent and past the filter. Remember to clean the filter!

Cons: Are you kidding???? I love this case!!

Overall Review: I am about to purchace my 2nd Soprano (the other one is silver). I am getting the black one this time so I can tell them apart. Imagine having two white kittens... Anyways, I have scoured the entire Newegg site and can find no other case that matches this one. Don't buy a cheap case...you can BUILD A MUCH BETTER COMPUTER with this case!!

Pros: Supports all AMD socket 939 processors and provides dual channel DDR supprot (requires 4 similar DDR devices). The onboard diagnostic LEDs provide an instant check of system health. This saved me once because I had not properly seated one of the DDR devices. This system was built with 2 partitions on an 160G SATA II drive. Half of the drive went to W2K and the other half to Vista Beta2. I can't wait until Vista really works to go 64 bit but for now I am sticking with 32 bit W2K.

Cons: Many folks have reported having problems with the integrated Gigabit LAN port. I also have the same problems.I think this has to do with the fact that the rest of my network is a regular ethernet 10/100. If you are like me then the router and modem on your network are 10/100 devices. The simple and cheap fix to the ethernet issue is to install an inexpensive NIC in one of your free PCI slots

Overall Review: I fully realize that many of you will chose this board because of it's over-clocking capability and this is why I chose this board, but I will never overclock this machine. Instead I use its very powerful MONITORING features to gauge this computer's performance.In coclusion I would recomend this MB for amyone looking to build a socket 939 AMD computer. BTW my processor is a A64-3700+ San Diego abd you should see Internet Explorer working at 64 bit....pages were up almpst before I clicked for them....lol

Pros: I am a complete rookie when it comes to digital cameras and photo printers yet this baby prints perfect pictures almost everytime. I get plenty of ooo's and ahhh's when I show folks the prints I have made of certain NASA photo's I have downloaded and that is testament eneough!

Cons: nada

Overall Review: You must be able to finacially support this printer since it has six (6) ink cartridges to worry about.A friend of mine doing the most ooo"ing and ahhh'ing over my prints has a "nice" printer that uses 2 cartrides (Black & color). I really don't mind spending a little more for ink when these prints turn out so nice!

Pros: Setup was a snap, just follow the directions. No glitches or anomolies to report.

Cons: nada

Overall Review: Keep in mind that certain printer fuctions require a bi-directional connection with the printer something that can't happen when you are using a Print Server.One of the features I cannot use is monitoring the ink levels from the computer. That's ok because I can easily do so from the printer's 2.5 inch LCD display. For my next adventure I will be adding another print server in order to connect a flatbed scanner. Stay tuned.
