Pros: I like the pre-applied paste. Should make it easier for novice users not to over or under apply paste.

Cons: Can't think of any.

Pros: Cheap. Has a reasonable number of connectors. Has a Front case fan to move air over the HD bay. Has mounts for additional case fans on the sidewall and the rear of the case. A near 500W PSU costs almost this much by itself. Front panel looks really clean. USB header for front panel is already on a block, not a bunch of single pin connectors.

Cons: Some of the standoff holes were a little overtapped(standoff continues to spin, never really locks. it does not fall out, but this means I had to hold the back of the standoff with pliers to get some of the screws holding the mobo to tighten down). Some of the power connectors were a little short for proper cable management(the four pin aux mobo power connector in particular. with the mobo I used, the cable has to go almost directly over the cpu fan. Anchoring the cable around the fan so it sometimes brush the fan was difficult without a little slack).

Overall Review: For the price, I have difficulty complaining. I am pleased with the case overall.

Pros: It solved my problem and worked out of the box. Some sources indicate that this may need to be reseated several times. Not the case. A quality product.

Cons: None.

Pros: So I have an ASUS board for overclockers...with this card, LEAVE OVERCLOCKING ALONE OR DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT THE INFINITE BEEP. There's a review that swore this didn't work with his board...it works if you turn off PCIe clock monitoring and have enough power. In order to isolate the problem I jumped out a second dedicated power supply AND disabled the PCIe clock mandate in BIOS. If you still have problems...hit me up and we'll chat [email protected] this card.

Cons: I had to troubleshoot clockrate on the PCIe slot and give it a dedicated powersupply. I also had to give it BOTH 6 pin adapters...order it here at the same time if you're buying this card and don't have the connectors on your BEAST PSU or a second PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812196870

Overall Review: Worth the pain of troubleshooting...

Pros: Lots of connections(has a com port header, LPT header, lots of USB headers, lots of SATA connectors). AM3 6 core ready. Decent on-board video.

Cons: The main power connector is right on top of the IDE header. Probably helps with cable management, but swapping the cable out later may prove to be a pain without pulling out the power connector. The sata connectors are REALLY tightly packed. I'm not using them all, so it's not that much of an issue for me. I could see it being an issue in the future. Maybe including some SATA pigtails would get this issue to go away.

Overall Review: For the price, you can't beat this board.
