good board

Pros: update to my previous positive review......
Cons: none
Overall Review: The IMSM verses LSI jumper on the board are reversed polarity so changing the setting does opposite what it claims in the manual. Not a problem, similar to having a light switch on when it says off.
awesome

Pros: I thought I got the desktop drives, good error because they were for RAID1 in a mission critical server. So it turns out I bought the right ones! Easy to set up in raid1 plus a hotswap (3 drives) and no problems at all.
Cons: none
ram that works well

Pros: it was in an Asus dfbs-de and an Intel 5000P and worked perfectly, nice heatsinks, looks good and performs perfectly.
Cons: none
solidly built

Pros: solid mounts, well made.
Cons: decided not to use them for a 4U chassis, didnt feel comfortable with the weight although it would probably handle it.
great psu

Pros: Honking huge power supply, very nice.
Cons: could use a 4 pin connector for cpu . it has 24 and 8.
nero

Pros: Solid construction, parts included, nice paint, lots of extra space.
Cons: the modular drive bay sections are nice, but the cd module: i had to cut the bottom off to put a full size server board inside it. Can only hold 3 hard drives with the baords I used it for, the cpu fans fit perfectly right next to the edge of where the other hard drives could be.
Overall Review: the fan mounts for the rear fan, could include both fans instead of one. the mounts are not to secured and the whole assembly can fall on the board. regardless, this is an awesome piece of hardware for the price and i totally recommend buying it.
