Ancient Tech
Pros: It works! I can use it when needed, without having to have a floppy drive on each of my computers.
Cons: Floppy? Honestly, who uses a floppy?
Overall Review: Just bought 4 more of these for work. We have a lot of older CNC machines in the shop that use floppies, so these come in handy when we need to transfer patterns from newer computers.
no half height card? really?
Pros: it works...
Cons: no half height card, only one usb interface
Overall Review: half height cards are so common today, it's just a cheap piece of metal and it's shameless not to include one. A couple of pliers and some dykes.... BAM! I made my own :)
Huge!
Pros: Huge. White. Tons of Space. Great Cooling, love the huge fans. Plenty of access holes to route all of your cables behind the motherboard.
Cons: Front panel is a bit tricky to take off.
Perfect!
Pros: Was on sale, with a rebate :) Put this in a new build, so it was was a pretty big upgrade from my 6950 (flashed to 6970)
Cons: None
Overall Review: Great bang for your buck.
Pretty darn spiffy
Pros: 80 plus platinum, good price, lots of cables
Cons: Cables are kind of stiff. The power cable doesn't like to stay in, I had to wrap some electrical tape around it to beef it up because it's not worth taking apart my computer to return it.
Favorite Motherboard Ever
Pros: Looks slick, heatsinks everywhere, overclocking is simple and straightforward, MIS is always great quality. I absolutely love the LED codes on the motherboard, and they show up on the motherboard as well. Much better than beep codes! :)
Cons: Would have liked wireless A/C
Overall Review: I've never spent this much on a motherboard before, but I got a good package discount with a processor, and I couldn't be happier with it.
won't use "Marketplace" again
I ordered a tablet, and then this cover it. I cancelled my tablet order to go with another option, but Newegg was unable to cancel this order for me because it was one of the "Marketplace" vendors and not directly from newegg, even though the order was new, was just being processed, and had not been shipped. A huge hassle that I've never had to deal with before when purchasing from Newegg, and I will never order from the Marketplace again. I'm really disapointed in Newegg... never though I'd say that...
