Absolutely solid board
Pros: I have built 20+ systems with this board, no DOA's or any system failures of any kind. For the price, this board doesn't deserve anything but 5 eggs. Clearly you can spend more if you need extra features. This is ideal for business systems, and screams with an SSD.
Cons: No USB3.0 header.
Spacebar hard to press
Pros: Nice ergonomic layout, has very nice freel.
Cons: Spacebar requires a lot of for force when tapping from the sides, which is causing me to type slower. Maybe mine is defective, not really sure.
Multiple DOAs
Pros: It's ram - it does 1 thing
Cons: I rarely have to RMA ram, it just works. However, I have a lot of these failing. Also, the RMA address is in Taiwan. Newegg shouldn't sell this junk in the USA.
Works with 7th Gen Kaby Lake
Pros: It works with 7th Gen Kaby Lake
Cons: None
Lasted 8years of continuous use
Pros: Died today, but 8 years is a good running, over 70,000 hours. It is rated over 100,000 hours however.
Cons: Would be nice if it lasted longer.
Unbeatable price for 1U server
Pros: Small, quiet, easy to manage. Impossible to beat pricewise if you need a reliable rackmount server. Runs Vmware ESXi with no problems. I have it loaded with 16gigs of ram, not a single problem.
Cons: No drive trays or tool-less screws. Can't really complain for the price though.
