Pros: I used this board for my first from-scratch PC build, and it works great. The built-in HDMI and DVI ports are great for processors with integrated graphics (i3 and i5). On my build I used i7, so I had to buy a video card. One nice thing was the IDE port, so I could use an old DVD drive I had lying around instead of buying a new SATA one.

Cons: Every time I boot, it takes an extra 10-15 seconds to recognize the dvd drive before booting. I've read that this could be turned off, but I've played around in the BIOS and couldn't figure out how.

Overall Review: Besides the weirdness with the DVD drive during boot, it is a great board, and cheap too.

Pros: Good price, high capacity.

Cons: I had read the reviews about it failing and figured it wouldn't happen to me. But then it did.
