Pros: Lots of features for low price, Quad NICs + onboard Management make for good virtual host.

Cons: While the specs list supported CPUs as "E5-2600" family if you were unlucky like I was, and get a board without an updated BIOS, Ivy Bridge CPUs will NOT boot on this board. Now I have to find a Sandy Bridge CPU just to boot and update the BIOS before it will be usable.

IPMI event logging only lists errors for fans missing or low speed (not all fan headers had fans on them.) but no errors about an incompatible or missing CPU. I thought I had plugged something in wrong or the board was DOA. Wasn't until I noticed there was an updated BIOS for Ivy support, which was newer than the firmware for BMC.

Other Thoughts: Wishing IPMI allowed you to update the motherboard bios, since IPMI is working fine.

Hoping this gets me more visibility from Gigabyte support as it has been 2 days and I don't even have confirmation that they even received the ticket.

Pros: Very small/thin strip that wont take up much room, and extremely bright given their size.

Cons: The description says it comes with both a power supply and a dimmer dial, but it does not come with either. For the price I didn't expect anything more than just the LEDs, but the description should be fixed to indicate that both are sold separately and are not included.

Other Thoughts: Bought to go under cabinets above a desk to give some reading light without having to turn on ceiling lights which are much brighter, strain the eyes and use a lot more energy. These are perfect for that task.
