Most Favorable Review

RAID 1; SATA 3.0; Windows 7

ASUS M4A87TD/USB3 AM3 AMD 870 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Install went good. The board is laid out nice. Plenty of over clock options.

Cons: - I had to find the RAID instructions on the web they are not in the manual. - Only comes with 1 SATA 3.0 cable and 2 SATA 2.0 cables. Why?

Most Critical Review

Poor setup; Good Performance

XFX Radeon HD 5830 1GB DDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card w/ Eyefinity HD-583X-ZAFV
XFX Radeon HD 5830 1GB DDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card w/ Eyefinity HD-583X-ZAFV

Pros: Scores 7.6 on 'Windows Experience'. Not too loud.

Cons: Like others have mentioned, the card is very long. Have to register on the website before downloading drivers. Registration wouldn't work in Chrome. First day after registering the website was down. Now website is up but it won't let me log in. To rub salt in my wound, the exe. on the CD that comes with the product crashes every time I run it.

Underpowered

ASUS Desktop PC CHROMEBOX-M004U Celeron 2955U (1.4 GHz) 2 GB DDR3 16 GB SSD Intel HD Graphics Shared memory  Google Chrome OS
ASUS Desktop PC CHROMEBOX-M004U Celeron 2955U (1.4 GHz) 2 GB DDR3 16 GB SSD Intel HD Graphics Shared memory Google Chrome OS

Pros: Box is a a nice small size.

Cons: This chromebox is under-powered. There is lag opening a browser window/chrome! Web pages load slow. I have it right next to my PC and things take a lot longer on the chromebox. The security settings are lacking. I tried to setup a user for my son, but since Chrome extensions that I install as admin do not run as other users ad block and such do not function. no DVI output.
