Pros: big jump for me going from Dual core to 8 cores. I love it

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: None

Pros: easy to connect but most are

Cons: Looses connection all the time. called US robotics for a replacement had low skilled tech support. Got the replacement it worked fine for a week and then started doing the same thing. I have VOIP phone service and this is really causing issues with that since people are trying to cotnact me and can't get through because routers is down. I am calling US robotics today and going to ask for my money back or an upgrade to a higer level device

Pros: it looks wonderful and so far seems to be running cool

Cons: This may not bother everyone but it messedme up a little. The card has 3 display ports, 1 DVI and an HDMI. the monitors I use is a seiki 39 inch LCD TV and an older samsung 22 inch monitor. plugging into the the Seiki through HDMI looked horible I blame the TV not the card. Which made me have to use a DVI to VGP adater to the tv and that looked great. THen I had to order a display port to DVI adapter for the other monitor to make things work right. All of these cons go against my older equipment and not the card itself.

Overall Review: If you are buying this for pretty lights you might be disappointed. It has one light on it and that's it. this did not bother me since where my case sits no one would see it anyway.

Pros: Run great with no problems so far. Looks even better. ample amount of SATA ports and USB ports and headers. I aslo got the MSI 960 GTX card which matches the board perfectly.

Cons: Had a small problem installing the Killer network card driver. Had to go to the device manager uninstall it then reinstall it then it detected. THE MSI software that comes with the board will not install until you have .net framework installed. there is a nice "badge" that is a heat sink on the board but it will get covered up when you install the a Video card.

Overall Review: If you are installing windows 7 to this board with a USB stick. IT might be tricky. after you loads up the first time it loses the drivers for the USB and no longer sees it. My solution was to keep changing the USB port that the stick was in till it was discovered again. this is not a problem with the board its a well known win 7 bug

Pros: 4 fans, cable management, the top dock all nice things. Some on here say that it felt cheaply made but I don't agree with that since I have had some really cheaply cases in the last 20 years. The filters on the intakes are a nice touch. The little tool they included to help insert the standoffs was very helpful. Also I purchased a rosewill power supply and it matched the case in style perfectly. The fans included are very quiet

Cons: First the fan controller. the left side does nothing the right side shuts down the computer and makes the power light blink. Not that it matters since I would have left them on high anyway since they hardly make any noise. The rubber cable management grommets are not attached well and you will be fighting to reinsert them. the cable management area behind where the motherboard sits is small and you may have issues putting on the side panel since most of the power supply cables don't like to cooperate.

Overall Review: Read carefully. This case has room for I think 8 hard drives. the hard drive mounts also have screw holes for a 2.5 so no need for an adapter so don't buy one like I did. I would have preferred the fan lights be blue but not taking off eggs for that.

Pros: Looks like it would work fine but after I ordered it I noticed that the Rosewill Stealth case that I purchased had the 2.5 mounts available . I will keep in in a cabinet somewhere sure I will be able to use it sooner or later,

Cons: None other than make sure your case doesn't need it
