Lasted longer than I expected

BIOSTAR A780L3B AM3 AMD 760G + SB700 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
BIOSTAR A780L3B AM3 AMD 760G + SB700 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: I purchased this 08/2012, and it's still working! Started as a low end system that has turned into a home workstation, and it handles well.

Cons: I've noticed the network interface resets frequently and sporadically, as others noted, but after 3 years, hardly a huge con. Just wish I didn't have to purchase a NIC because of component failure.

Overall Review: I've pushed this system way past its typical use case, and 3 years later it still works. I haven't touched any of the OC settings in the BIOS, which probably helps the longevity quite a bit. Biostar got it right, except for the NIC.

Most Critical Review

Awful... 100% Junk

Google Android 7" Touchscreen Tablet with WiFi, 3G Support, 2GB Storage Capacity and Expandable MicroSD Slot!

Pros: It turns on... I guess that's worth the cost?

Cons: Seriously? I feel like I need to beat this thing with my fingers just to get it to respond. It's slow, extremely unresponsive, and at the end of the day - 100% not worth the money. I was an idiot when I bought these because there was no reviews on it yet, so I figured it's worth the risk. I bought 3, and wish I could return 4.

Overall Review: If you have a kid who has lived in a cave their entire life, they might enjoy these. Otherwise, don't waste the cash on these.

DOA

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) Desktop Memory Model F3-8500CL7D-8GBRL

Pros: Umm, I had 8GB of RAM on the BIOS screen - which was cool.

Cons: Can't install anything - it crashes no matter what I try. When I try to perform a memory test, it locks up and restarts. Replaced with old RAM from system and it works fine.

Overall Review: The price was right - the size was right - it just didn't work...
