very reliable mb

Pros: I do not play games, just like to have the ability should I ever decide to. This MB is VERY nice. the UEFI BIOS is very easy to navigate. It has an auto overclocking feature which I have on, and have not had ANY issues at all. I am running a FX-6200 on it and have a no issues what so ever. I was running Windows 7 pro x64 on it, but recently replaced that with Windows 8.1 x64 and turned on the windows 8 features of the mb. It POSTs very quickly and without any issues at all. I am totally in love with this MB, Everything works as it should. Very stable, and no complaints from wither of the OS's. Oh, and I at one point had it dual booting to sever different distros of Linux namely Ubuntu, Fedora, and Kali. All worked flawlessly with it.
Cons: None what so ever. Very well laid out and very stable.
Overall Review: Great MB. Second MB from MSI for me, and both still work flawlessly. I am a huge fan of MSI now. I did have an Asus mb before my last MSI and it had issues from day one. I know ASUS is a great mb manufacturer, so it was just my board. I also realize that there are going to be some MSI boards that have problems, but not with mine. Incidentally, they both are on all the time. One is a an AD, DHCP, and DNS server.
Nice print quality, serious pain to get it to get on the network

Pros: Nice print quality, haven't tried the duplexing yet.
Cons: It took forever for it to connect to the network. What makes it such a pain is that there is no display on it at all, so you can't assign an IP address or anything else. You just turn it on and pray it is going to connect.
Overall Review: I was once the printer and print server guy for a particular states Department of Health and Welfare. I took care of all the printers and print servers in the state. I do know a little about printers, although I will admit my knowledge it pretty old. But this is what I did to get the printer working. I had to go into the my routers config pages to find the MAC address of the printer and then assign it an IP address (which is what i have done with printers for 25 years or so now.) Now it connects fine, even after I moved, although when I thrun it off because I don't plan to use it for awhile, Windows 11 and my Android phone had trouble finding it again. So I pinged it, and got a good response time. Went into the config pages on the printer and looked at the IP settings, and all was good. Then my pc and phone connected.
Pretty fast compered to my FX6600... :-D

Pros: It works. It's quick. No complaints at all.
Overall Review: I am a die hard fan of AMD. I have been since the 586 (been awhile...) I have never had a problem with any CPOU from them yet. This CPU hasn't disappointed.
TOO SMALL

Pros: Very sturdy case. Decent cable management.
Cons: First, I must admit that it has been a long time since I have built a new system. 13 years to be exact. Honestly all these wires for lights on fans and such is kinda weird to me, but the wires are a mess when combined the the cables from the poer supply and SATA cables.
Overall Review: The biggest complaint I have though is that I bought a new water cooling system (first time with water cooling as well,) but it doesn't fit in that case. Also, I have recently bought a MSI Ventus GeForce RTX 3060, and it doesn't fit either... I am getting too old for this s*&$...
fantastic motherboard!

Pros: solid construction, was reasonably priced when I bought it, great specs for its time.
Cons: memory is close for a large cpu heatsink and fan.
Overall Review: I have had this motherboard for over two years now, and it is still my primary pc. I am running a 6100 3.3 GHz in it oc'd and I just put a Radeon RX580 on it. I'm about to run 3dMark to see how it fairs, but with a slightly less than middle of the road graphics card in it and not oc'd with 3dMark it performed a little above average. I have not once had a problem with this motherboard.
Sturdy case

Pros: Sorry, my previous review was for a different case... THIS case however; Case has good room in it, there are no sharp edges and it does feel remarkably sturdy, especially for the price. Especially with a power supply! I am running an MSI 760 mb with an AMD Phenom Quad core CPU, 4G of RAM, two internal HD's and an external hd and it works flawlessly. I am running Server 2012 on it and have not had any problems with the PS at all.
Cons: The light ring around the power button stopped working sometime, I don't know when, just noticed it was out recently. The power light and that light were very bright, they light up the room at night quite well.
Overall Review: Great case for the money. It is well built and really it is worth more than $15...
Acceptable
This controller is definitely a clone. Which really, one should expect for this price, but, my daughter says it is working fine, but definitely feels differently from a real ps3 controller. Controller came in reasonable amount of time from China. So I give it three eggs since it is a clone and it was not explicitly declared.
