Works great with e8400

Pros: Works GREAT with the new wolfdale e8400 processors. Tons of overclocking features, EXCELLENT interface, very nice selection of pci ports. Very functional passive NB/SB cooler. Fast mobo!
Cons: e8400 will not work "out of box" with the mobo. Many people on ASUS forums report problems with DDR2-1066. I recommend using DDR-800 only. I used 2x2GB corsair XMS DDR2-800 with zero problems
Overall Review: You need to download bios 502 from ASUS and put it on a usb flash drive. Make sure the flash drive is FAT or FAT32 formatted, not NTFS. Rename the bios file to P5E.ROM Plug in the flash drive, turn on the computer, hit delete to enter bios, go to the EZ FLASH 2 utility... select P5E.ROM, and flash away. Once you flash bios 502 your processor will be detected.

Pros: Great mousepad, small-weave fibers for good tracking (logitech g5). Good size, not too big and not too small. The width on this one is greater than the length of my old mousepad, so I can use this new one in a vertical fashion and it's still more than wide enough.
Cons: Mine came with a significant imperfection right out of the package. Some of the fabric has been pulled up, right in the middle of the mousepad. Almost like someone took a knife tip and messed it up. Because of this I have to deduct 2 eggs from my review... there is no reason a brand new product should've failed quality control this badly.
So hard to move

Pros: As others have said, very sturdy.
Cons: "Cable management" loops are useless. They wouldn't hold a simple HDMI cable without buckling under the stress when the cable moved around. The loops just fell off. I will use zip ties instead. The articulating feature would be nice, but it is extremely difficult to move the mount around. There are several places where you can adjust the tension of the joints by using an allen wrench. Well, on my unit some of these joints are so overtightened from the factory that I cannot untighten them without stripping the hole for the allen wrench. They are physically impossible to get loose. Since these bolts are so overtightened, the mount creaks and moans when I move it back and forth, and it is so stiff that my wife cannot even budge it. I can do it but it's a pain. It will come out from the wall and swivel, but it's way more difficult than it should be, and the adjustment points simply will not get any looser. I tried using spray lubricant similar to WD-40, and it helped only a little bit. My other issue is that it doesn't hold a position very well. The TV likes to rotate clockwise/counterclockwise when I'm struggling to pull it out from the wall or push it back in. It also likes to keep tilting more and more forward over time, which is annoying, I have to get a friend to help tilt it back to vertical.
Overall Review: I have an older 42" plasma TV that weighs about 70 lbs mounted to this. Wish I had bought a higher-end mount. This one is sturdy enough but typical Rosewill not following through on the details. I have said once before, I am finished buying Rosewill products after too many problems... this time I am serious.
Monitor flickering

Pros: Setup can't be easier. Should be able to power by USB. No problems working with Logitech unifying receiver, including mouse/keyboard special buttons and functions. When it works, the picture quality is indistinguishable from normal.
Cons: I have serious issues with monitors flickering. The problem got worse since I purchased the unit. On PC2, right monitor now flickers all the time. On PC1, right monitor never flickers, left monitor flickers occasionally. If Linkskey replaces it with RMA then I will be happy.
Firmware Upgrade fixes BSOD

Pros: Update of previous review - I did experience a few BSOD's since installing the drive. This was a known issue with sandforce controllers, but has been fixed. Download and install the updated firmware available from Kingston. Works perfectly now, no more BSOD's.
Cons: None
Ultra quality product

Pros: Simply an immaculate product. They have incredible longevity, excellent flow rate, and extremely easy method of adjusting fan speed through simple in-line wire adapters. The bearings are of the highest possible quality. Sleeve bearings are the worst, followed by single ball, then double ball... well Noctua has them all beat. Poor quality bearings degrade over time and noise increases. Ultimately this is what causes your fans to fail. You get what you pay for with PC fans. So you can either buy cheap and replace often, or buy Noctua and never worry again.
Cons: Not 4-pin (no PWM)
Overall Review: On full speed, their sound is noticable, but they are not annoyingly loud either. At slightly below full speed, they are basically silent and still move a decent amount of air.
