Pros: It's a nice looking motherboard, if black is your thing. Worked great out of the box as it should. Started playing around with overclocking and so far, so good. Cooler Master 212 EVO cooler fit on the motherboard vertically just fine with Corsair Vengeance memory seated next to it. I'm using all eight SATA ports, both PCI slots, and the PCIe X16 slot for graphics and it's been rock solid all day.

Cons: Price could be a little lower, but this is a premium binned product, so you get what you pay for.

Pros: Keeps a hot CPU quite cool and is very quiet.

Cons: How do I count the number of ways it was a PITA to install this cooler? -The instructions are worthless. Throw these away and Google a guide from a third party. -The included screwdriver is barely useful. Better not to use it if you don't like stripped out screws. -The X shaped retention bracket barely fits under the cooler, and you have to blindly line it up in the center and with a pin that clocks it into place. The 'clocking' by the way keeps it from rotating about +/- 5 degrees. -Have to install the fan dead last, but there's no easy way to get it on or off the cooler without twisting it around due to the slop in clocking.

Overall Review: There must be better options out there. Although the price on this model is pretty good, I'm not sure I would buy it again.

Pros: I regularly use this to charge my smartphone, tablet, and vape pen. I've had no trouble and the quick charge ports really put out a lot of juice. After charging two devices at a time the case is barely warm. I'm not sure what the other reviews were talking about when they say it gets dangerously hot. Anyway, this is the one to get, in fact I'm buying a second one for the basement in my house two months later.

Cons: Not really a con but I would rather have it sit on the countertop than take up a whole two-plug wall outlet. But I could get a short extension cord if I really wanted to.

Overall Review: This is a nice unit, well designed and executed.

Pros: Great cables with high-end quality and features for a very good price.

Cons: Really there's nothing not to like.

Pros: Love these cables. High-end quality at a very good price.

Cons: They're not free

Overall Review: Highly recommend these cables if you need noise immunity, good connections.

Pros: About what you expect from a new Core i5 processor. Four fast cores, plenty of heat, nice performance.

Cons: Supplied heatsink is mostly useful as a shiny paperweight.

Overall Review: The stock Intel cooler is barely passable. Suggest getting a third party heatsink as it seems the days of being able to use a stock CPU cooler are long gone.
