Pros: Good overall budget board.
Cons: Started up board and got that wonderful burning electronics smell.... The audio circuitry is toast.... RMA'ing for replacement
Can't Configure Router
Pros: Speed and stability.
Cons: Router would not configure. Had to set static IP address on my wired ipv4 adapter on my computer to 192.168.1.2 Accessed router through my eb browser at 192.168.1.1 only got prompt to update firmware. Updated latest downloaded firmware from Asus website. Rebooted router. Configured router as my access point. Changed my adapter back to dynamic IP. Plugged into my modem and all was good. Can't access the 5 GHZ SSID. I have an Intel 5100 AGN adapter that should be 5 GHZ aware. (Settings for adapter are OK). Also set 5 GHZ Router SSID to "N Only" still with no results.... Asus, why is this not working?
Overall Review: Tech at Asus did not know why router was inaccessible out of the box via dhcp.
Buy This One With Care
Pros: Lots of room. Easy to work in. Tooless design works well. Lots of ventilation
Cons: The hard drive carriers were a PAIN to get the drives into.
