You get what you pay for - Enough said.
Pros: Came with Keyboard, Speakers, and Mouse, good for filling your garbage can or giving to your toddler to play with. Cost.
Cons: Cheap construction, flimsy parts, odd size screws for the panel, terrible interior design. Wiring difficult to organize due to odd front panel placement.
Overall Review: I honestly considered using the cardboard box this unit came in instead of the case itself. The only reason I didn't was that my customer insisted on black and wouldn't compromise on the brown color....
Pros: no major pros that stick out - the board does the trick if it keeps working.
Cons: Inconsistent quality - I have ordered several of these motherboards in DIY kits. 3 of them have been working just fine for a little over 4 months, 1 has been working fine for 2 months, but 1 died at 62 days, and 1 more died within 18 days of operation. 2 bad boards out of 6 boards total isn't quite enough stability for me to keep on ordering these, and is definitely not enough for me to recommend them to other users.
Overall Review: The board does the job as long as it stays functional - make sure you keep that 3 year warranty in your pocket though.
