Pros: Fast, extra HDD slot, PCIe and PCI slots for expansion, two spare SATA ports.

Cons: Media card reader would not handle Compact Flash. Slot it's in is too short for a replacement reader. No PCIe power for updated Video card - must rely on slot power.

Overall Review: Going to return the unit. It sat at my son's house for a couple months before I could spend the time to get my data moved over. I would up being very disappointed with the look, the lousy media reader, and the mediocre expandability. I'm a professional Photographer, so the right look and equipment is critical.
