Great Value

1. Paired with Corsair 4gb, i3-540 and 9500GT to make Great affordable Hackintosh. OS/X installed without much trouble. Network and Sound took a very short time to solve.

1. I can't get sleep to work in OS/X. Bummer.
2. No IDE ports. Didn't realize it at the time, but all the spare optical drives I have laying around are IDE. Oh well.

Well done Gigabyte (as always)

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Cramped design

Works good for my Intel i5-760, has many BIOS settings to tweak.

Cramped design. Sure it has 6 SATA plugs, however as soon as you add a decent sized video card (mine is Nvidia GTS-250), the top 3 SATA plugs are blocked making them unusable. And the PCI socket for your sound card is so close to the PCI-E 2.0 slot. With my sound card installed, it is maybe 1/2 inch from the bottom of my video card, if that. Doesn't leave much room for the cooling fan on my video card to intake air.

I like the fact that it has 2 BIOS chips, but couldn't Gigabyte have spaced out the slots a little more?
