Great board
Pros: Lightning fast opening programs (LoL, steam, fallout3, CS, etc) windows loads in about 20 -30 seconds, Led's help u find our what problems might come up, reset/power switches, the bios are legendary... amazing board.
Cons: The red bootup led lit up a lot causing confusion... Asus is straight out wrong on how to set up Intel smart response technology (isrt).. that was a huge headache... you MUST change your bios to allow Raid instead of AHCI BEFORE you install windows to do IRST.. Just stick with it and it's amazing. Now that it's running i love it, but it took 3 windows reinstalls. I am not tech savvy, I just watched neweggtv and did it all. If I can do it, anyone can.

B.S.
Pros: None.
Cons: This thing is terrible. Doesn't slide easily due to uneven manufacturing, cheap as cheap gets, doesn't fit flush with the front of case (antec). Brilliant idea, absolute waste of money. I took mine out and threw it away because no one would ever buy it if they got to hold it.
Overall Review: Newegg shouldn't even give these away
awesome fans
Pros: I bought an antec 100 case and replaced all the fans with these.. they are solid, cheap, and work great. Cool air flow, no noise.
Cons: none
I love it
Pros: Awesome, I love it. It's big. I have a standard mousepad and it fits on this one more than 2x across. I can't imagine how big the xlarges are, this one is plenty
Cons: none. must have about a 17'' laptop of space or you won't like it.
Overall Review: love it
Pros: Its ok... I just keep it on.. it doesn't heat up. My bro says if I turn them down or off they will heat up
Cons: na

its great
Pros: powers 5 fans and my build perfectly, probably with lots to spare.
Cons: for this much money I don't see why its not at least partially modular... modular is sooooo much nicer in case

didn't address my concern
I bought components for a work rig and had everything I needed. I needed it to be done that week. everything went fine EXCEPT the mobo was missing the m.2 screw to hold the m.2 ssd in place. The seller sent me an email telling me where to buy a screw they thought might fit. I had to overnight a screw from ama-zon for $9 so I didn't mess up work. Overall really unimpressed. The seller did the minimum to try and understand the problem and resolve it.
