Solid product

Pros: Um, it works and delivers clean power. Nice build quality.
Cons: Despite having to void the warranty, no complaints. I had to void the warranty because when I powered it up, they wrapped some internal wires with this fishnet type cable wrap. Some of the stray 'fingers' where it was cut was hitting the internal fan and the sound was driving me nuts. I opened it up and did some cutting and noise gone. No way I was going to RMA it for that reason, voided warranty or not. I'm not deducting an egg for that.
Amazing value for the money!

Pros: Standoffs already attached Rubber feet to isolate any vibrations from the power supply Nice paint job Front panel supports USB 3.0 Quiet fans Supports WD 8TB drives without needing to tape over any of the SATA power pins
Cons: Once the top cover is off, the metal around the edges is a bit rough. Wish it was smoother/polished more. Same for the metal inside the case. Could stand to be smoothed out some. But for a budget case, I'm OK with that trade off.
Overall Review: I use to have a Rosewill 4412 and loved that case but I outgrew it. I moved on to a 24 bay SuperMicro chassis for my media server and then decided I needed a backup media server but didn't need as many drive bays. Since I sold my 4412 a while ago, I saw the newly released 4413 on a Black Friday deal and grabbed it. I tested all 12 bays and everything works perfectly! I swear, if Rosewill started making a 24 bay, hot swap, server chassis that utilized a single SFF connector on the back plane to pass all 24 drives to a HBA (or whatever) they would dominate the server chassis market for us folks that build home servers! In the years I had my 4412, I never had a single problem. I'm positive the 4413 will last a long time as well.
Amazing card!

Pros: Handles every game I throw at it on max settings and silky smooth game play! (Far Cry 3 on max settings, no problem. Skyrim on max settings, no problem. Assassins Creed 3 on max settings, no problem.) My CPU is an Intel i5 3570K at 3.4GHz, 8 gigs of RAM and Win 7 64bit. Currently, I'm not using the full potential of this card as I game on a single LCD (1680x1050). In the near future, I plan on adding another LCD monitor or getting a larger monitor and then I'll be able to make full use of it. The card is quiet! and stays cold under load.
Cons: Doesn't turn lead into gold.
Overall Review: Gigabyte has a great card here! Fast, quiet and stays cold under load. What are you waiting for, order this card!!!
Working nicely!

Pros: Great HTPC card!
Cons: None
Overall Review: S/PDIF cable had a 4 pin motherboard connector but 2 of my boards only had a 3 pin S/PDIF connector. Which motherboard maker has a 4 pin S/PDIF? No big deal though, I just removed the 2 wires from the 4 pin black connector and pushed them onto 2 of the 3 S/PDIF connectors on my mb and all is good.
Solid product

Pros: Great HTPC motherboard. Working perfectly!
Cons: None
Overall Review: My video card came with a 4 pin S/PDIF connector and the MSI board only had a 3 pin connector. No problem. Just removed the 2 wires from their black connector and plugged them in individually. Audio working great over HDMI! I wish this board had the option to be turned on via key press. That options is there, but only if/when the computer is sleeping can it be woke up via keyboard and not when it's off. I love that feature on my Asus boards! Overall though, this is my first MSI board and probably won't be my last. I now think Asus and MSI are both great board makers.
Works perfectly!

Pros: Working PERFECTLY going from my Asus 9500GT video card to my LG 720P LCD tv!
Cons: Didn't break the bank.
Overall Review: Monster........ha, what a rip off!
