Pros: Where do I start?! USB charges while the computer is off USB 3.0 interface on the mobo, 10 total USB ports on the rear, 2 of them are USB 3.0 6 upward facing SATA 3 ports 3 fan interfaces on the mobo for exhaust/intake fans and 1 for CPU 8+2 power phase, the MOSFET and SB heatsinks are HELD IN by SCREWS, not just tabbed in with plastic push-throughs (they should have done the same thing with the NB in my opinion, but I suppose this is done to easily replace the NB heatsink with aftermarket coolers?) Clever positioning of the Front Panel interface (power button etc) Beautiful board layout, nice black PCB. Everything is positioned perfectly. I will be buying more Gigabyte boards in the future, that for sure.

Cons: Uh... No witty comments from me :) I guess they could have put an IDE on the board, but who uses IDE anymore other than my grandpa? :P

Overall Review: BIOS took some getting used to coming from Asus and Biostar, had issues with the memory posting at its rated spec (2133Mhz) but then, the max for the board says 2000Mhz. Noone's perfect, but this isn't a con, just some information for potential buyers :)

Pros: The DVR worked for 7 months. Easy enough to set up.

Cons: Laggy software. Laggy network. I have very high speed internet, there is no reason it should be so laggy.<br><br>It died when I hooked up a monitor with a longer VGA cable. Kaput! It's not the hard drive or monitor. No signal at all. Now I am without a security system, just these useless cameras...

Overall Review: Stay away from Rosewill products. It's been nearly a week since I filed my RMA, they replied once asking for the same information I entered in my RMA. Basically gave me a runaround. <br><br>That's cool though, I think I'm gonna check out Floureon's products, and maybe put the Shield DVR on the wall as a decoration. Or something. Update: WARNING computer tech people, please steer clear of the company Rosewill. I recently sent a defective product back, 7 months old, one year warranty. Great, I'll get it replaced for free. 2 months of RMA procedure, finally got my replacement today. Zero documentation. Upon opening the package, I thought it was a little suspect that they reused my bubble wrap and ziploc bag (for the power unit). But thought to myself well, they probably just repaired the defective mainboard in the DVR. So, I proceeded to install the hard drive, hook it all back up to the camera system (that I had already installed through a complex network from the interior of my home to the exterior). Plugged up the monitor and power cable and then... NO SIGNAL!? Surely they tested the replacement before they repackaged it and sent it back out to their valued customer who spent good money on their product expecting it to work and if not, expecting the company to honor their return and replacement policies. So I continue.. Ok, maybe its the monitor, or the hard drive that will not allow the signal to pass, so I test known good hard drives and monitors. No signal. Black screen. Power light on, HDD light off. What gives Rosewill? Don't care about your customers? Cool story bro. I will make sure that I do everything in my power to make sure everyone knows about your terrible products and terrible customer service, and terrible business practice of sending broken merchandise back to customers after proving its broken. Never again, Rosewill, never again. Again, that name is: ROSEWILL. Do not ever buy anything from ROSEWILL. ROSE WILL RIP YOU OFF.

Pros: Small profile, fits in tight spaces.

Cons: Not too loud, but loud enough to hear. Gets a little warm after being on only about 10 seconds (lip test)

Overall Review: To soon to tell how long it will last... if it was $5 cheaper, you would have got 5 eggs.

Pros: 4 pin connector is EXACTLY as pictured, with the divider spaced further out. THIS is exactly what I needed for the HP Touchsmart 600 AIO. This most excellent design is compatible with both 3 and 4 pin standard PC fans.

Cons: Does not plug into 3 pin standard PC fan slots, but there are so many other brands out there that do. This product works for those projects where a standard 3 or 4 pin fan adapter simply wont work (such as the case with the HP Touchsmart 600 AIO)

Overall Review: Also like the fact there are provisions for another fan if I need it somewhere else on the chipset. Plug and play :)

Pros: It does what it is supposed to do, but did not work for my application. See other thoughts.

Cons: The SSD mounting holes are slightly off centered. I got the screws in, but it was a very tight squeeze to get the holes to line up. Not worth to minus any eggs though being as cheap as it is.

Overall Review: This did not work in my All-In-One PC, the HP Touchsmart 600-1120 because the sata/power cable inside the AIO is not long enough to reach the centered mounting point. I guess I will just install it in my wife's computer that has a SSD resting against the inside of the case.. so it's not a total loss. If you need a mount for your All In One, look for one with a mount that's offset so that you can flip it around if you need to.

Pros: Works good but has issues. See cons

Cons: Nearing the 2 year mark, the PSU fan seems to be on its way out. You would think a $50 PSU would last more than 2 years... Sounds like a bearing failure, as I can hear it rattling on low setting, and when I switch it to high setting it gets worse. If I manually stop the fan, it goes away for a few seconds but begins again. Fan is definitely failing, right when the warranty expires. Good thing I bought that 1 yr extra replacement plan or otherwise I'd be shelling out another $50 for a new PSU of a better brand. (still have to wait 2+ weeks if I RMA) First Raidmax item, not sure if I will be purchasing another (due to the fact that the device seems to want to fail just as the warranty is coming to an end, a tactic which is used by shady companies like HP and Dell to force upgrades)

Overall Review: So now, I'm either stuck without a PC for 2+ weeks while I wait on a lengthy RMA process, or suck it up and shell out another $50 for a more reliable brand PSU, or say screw the warranty and replace the failing fan myself. For some reason, I feel like the 3rd option would be the most reliable and quickest option to use, but if Raidmax wants to send me a fan to replace the one failing, I'm open to that too. Not my first rodeo, cowboys.
