Pros: This was purchased to build a new Vista 64 machine for my primary home pc. It is set up for RAID 10 with 4 250GB Barracudas. The RAID setup utility is build into the BIOS, and is easy to use. It also has lots of cooling fan connections, and all can be controlled either in BIOS or with the included utility.

Cons: Abit's instructions don't make the RAID setup really clear. I tried to set up my RAID array via software utilities after the system was initially installed. I ended up deleting all the partitions and starting over from scratch using the RAID setup in the BIOS. This is super easy and a great way for a beginner to set up a RAID array.

Overall Review: Kind of wish I could have set this up with dual video cards, but both Nvidia and ATI want you to used a motherboard with their proprietary technology in the chipset. This board might have worked with either of them, but I didn't want to experiment and just got a really nice video card instead.

Pros: Priced right and NewEgg's superlative customer service

Cons: Dead on Arrival. Ended up getting a MSI board that worked first time flawlessly.

Overall Review: I don't think I'm the only one with DOA on this board. Read Other reviews.

Pros: Sufficient for average use and older games.

Cons: Fan is LOUD when you push this board and the processor gets warm. The fan on mine was a little out of balance and made a terrible racket.

Overall Review: The board did work fine, but was insufficient for my needs. I wanted a board for CoD2 that I could push hard.

Pros: Well made; tough finish; nice fit on panels and bezel; Simple clean design; and ample ventilation for good airflow

Cons: Power supply doesn't have a power switch. Fan is a little loud.

Overall Review: I'm using a P4 Prescott processor. Had to get a second 80mm fan for the front of the case. The single 80mm fan in the back just doesn't cut it. Parts fit great though, and I like the single screw to hold in the agp and pci boards.

Pros: Everything works first time

Cons: It's great for wireless sync for your PDA, but not so great for accessing the 'net with your Palm

Overall Review: My difficulties were more with the nature of setting up a Palm to access the internet via Bluetooth. This is easiest to use with the standard Microsoft Drivers you have when you just plug and play. No need to use the included drivers.
