Most Favorable Review

Pretty Good Board but...

ASUS P5QL PRO LGA 775 Intel P43 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Great first time board for builders, relatively inexpensive, small

Cons: A little flimsy

Overall Review: I bought this as part of a system build and was pretty excited to get it together. I set everything and brought it to best buy to have windows installed as part of a free promotion. 4 days later they called saying that they fried the board when they removed the fans and heatsink from my case. Asus never followed up on my RMA request and now I'm stuck with a paperweight. DESPITE the issues, I think that if I ever get a working one that it would be a pretty solid system. I am considering purchasing more ASUS products in the future

Great Testbed, easy build

Pros: Huge interior, great airflow, handy features. Bought this as a case for my home office/gaming/work do-all machine and I have to say that this case has given me the best build experience in years. From the spacious interior, to the modular panel set up, to the little quality-of-life improvements on the overall design, this case has so far proven to be a breeze to use as a testbed. Plenty of spare room for further expansion as well.

Cons: None that I can think of. Maybe future dust accumulation?

Overall Review: Bigger than it may seem. This thing can fit a full ATX motherboard with ease. Might be an issue with larger GPU's if using a smaller board, as the header for the case wires can be pressed on.
