Pros: -UEFI bios for those of you who don't like using the function keys on your keyboard -Great features for the price. USB 3.0, 16gb max ram, SATA 6gbps, solid capacitors, etc. -19-pin USB 3.0 on-board for those USB 3.0 case front-panel ports! Success! -Booted up first try. Solid performance since.

Cons: -Hung after pressing "save and exit", had to cut power and reboot. This happened twice. Dunno if this is a component issue (HDD, PCI card, etc) or what. Never had this problem in the BIOS of any other Mb. -Only one 6gbps connector. Not too bad though considering this is a motherboard marketed as a basic business workstation board. 3 more 3gbps sata ports if that makes you feel better.

Overall Review: MSI seems to put substantial development into their BIOS and making sure things work properly. Aside from the save issue mentioned above, I regard this board highly overall. I consider this board a diamond in the rough among 1155 mATX boards.

Pros: Works

Cons: Has some white lettering on the front.

Pros: modular, great build quality, QUIET

Cons: Obviously it'd be nice to have even more modularity on cables. If for example I have a need for four SATA power plugs and not 6, for example. But really not a big deal.

Overall Review: Easy cable management.

Pros: - great cable management - excellent airflow - room to work, but not excessive size-wise - love the rubber feet

Cons: -none

Overall Review: I really loved working with this case. Great airflow options, and also a rigid, solid feel to it.

Pros: - accurate - durable - high-end feel

Cons: -slightly uncomfortable (your hand may vary)

Overall Review: In general I like thermaltake products, but this one is just kid of a far-out design. The mechanics are there, excellent laser tracking, solid feel, etc. But the shape of the mouse is just not built for the hand, it's built for the eye.

Pros: -Slid right in -Fairly affordable -Works as advertised

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I've had good experience with PNY products.
