Pros: Easy setup. After market CPU cooling fan installed easy. Mobo is well labeled you would have to try hard to misplace a plug on a header. Diagnostic LEDs are a nice touch. Bios was pretty much on the spot in the initial settings. The only hardware conflict was with broken EVGA graphics card but I had an old legacy PCI card that I put in the 1 available slot and all is working well until I get a replacement from Newegg. Copper silent pipe nice touch.
Cons: I would like more SATA but I knew that going into this.
Overall Review: This is my 1st build after a 7 year vacation from computers. I tried my best to do proper research. This mobo was a confidence builder after so many years away.
Great laptop for the price!
Pros: Runs all the games I need to. Super fast startup and runs CAD programs just fine.
Cons: WIFI has a hard time connecting to my house system but connects to hotspot just fine. So therefore lost an egg. Not a big fan of the red trim but NBD for me.
Overall Review: Inexpensive great performing machine. I would recommend this to others.
Worth It 4 Sure
Pros: Great picture for the price at $140. 2 inputs so I have computer in 1 and xbox in the other. When I shut off the xbox it auto reverts back to the other input or you can manually select. Not 1 stuck pixel.
Cons: Menu controls are a little awkward and the buttons are a bit stiff. Don't let that deter you though you'll get used to it.
Overall Review: For the size to price ratio go ahead and purchase. I laughed when I unplugged my old crt 15" that I payed $350. for back in the day. I have used this screen from computing, gaming, to movies and have een happy with my purchase.
Sexy Mobo
Pros: Heat pipe is beautiful. Status led's for the processor. Good layout. I was able to connect all the other essentials and can still see all that pretty copper in there.
Cons: 2 more sata would be nice. During initial setup had a few hung starts. Had to reset the bios and everything has been running fine since.
Overall Review: Economical feature rich board. Reccomend you buy this one if quality and cooling is important to you.
Great value for price
Pros: Quiet, Sata, Choice of faceplate covers. Great value for the low price. Have not had a burn fail yet.
Cons: Maybe not the fastest out there but plenty fast for me.
Overall Review: Built a new rig from scratch. I have 2 of these drives installed and not 1 problem yet. Strongly reccomend this drive. Installation was too easy. Lightscribe a plus.
