Pretty Good
Pros: This is a good, pretty solid motherboard.
Cons: Nvidia drivers and the chipset fan.
Overall Review: The chipset fan just adds more noise to the system. Not a killer, so I'm keeping it at a 5. Also, don't use any of the Nvidia drivers except the Yukon Ethernet driver. Just use the windows ones. I've now built a computer with an A8N-Premium as well, and the lack of a chipset fan is a plus. I'd advise that board over this one, but this one is still quite good.
Excellent X38 Chipset
Pros: The layout of this motherboard is excellent and the all solid capacitors noticeably increase the sturdiness.
Cons: No cons to report. :)
Overall Review: Something to keep in mind, if you order a Zalman 9500A 92mm it will need to blow up or down. I spent some time figuring how to get it on. The latch to lock the heatsink into place is large and the capacitors or the passive mobo cooling gets in the way. The Bios also offers a ton of options and as others have mentioned, is great for OCing. However, I have not tried that yet.
Good case
Pros: Fairly well built, it looks good, and has all the amenities I wanted.
Cons: The front panel and the locks that cover the PCI/PCI Express take some thinking. (pushing the front panel pins inward and pulling it off at the same time for example)Once you figure out how to remove them it goes smoothly.
Overall Review: I'm writing this review while assembling my new computer. I like the case and the tool less locks for the 3.5 and 5.25 drive bays are very nice. It does have a somewhat cheap feel with all the plastic fasteners, but they get the job done. Newegg again did a great job with shipping and delivery when paired with Fedex!
Awesome Hard Drive
Pros: I just bought a second one. I've had one in my computer since April, it's fast and I've had no problems with it.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Don't want to get technical as to if this is faster or that drive is faster. What I can say is that you are not likely to have any problems with it and it will work as advertised.
Rob
Pros: This drive is quiet, fast, and works!
Cons: None!
Overall Review: Wish I could offer more feedback, but the drive just does what it is advertised to do. Nothing less.
Awesome Card for the Money
Pros: It has great power for this price point. I am thoroughly impressed. It is also quiet.
Cons: None at the moment.
Overall Review: Wish I could add more information, it just does as advertised!
