Pros: This is an excellent display. The colors are great, the viewing angles are the best I have observed, and the overall fit and finish are nice. It was worth every cent that I paid for it.
Cons: None
Pros: Worked first time without any issues.
Cons: I don't care for the LEDs, but my case is opaque so it doesn't matter.
Awesome system disk
Pros: Small, fast, and boots Windows 8.1 when installed in a Gigabyte GZ-Z97X-Gaming 3. It is super nice not having a single SATA cable plugged into my board. It saves a lot of space by not having any hard drives.
Cons: None
Pros: It just works. I upgraded from onboard ATI 3200HD series, and the improvement is very noticeable.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Windows 7 initially told me that no suitable driver could be found even though I had already installed the Catalyst 10.2 drivers. However, after a reboot the Radeon 5670 was automatically detected, and the drivers on the CD were not needed.
Runs Cool
Pros: Runs much, much cooler (and quieter) than my ancient dual Athlon MP 1900+, and it is a whole lot faster. This went into a super low-budget machine, and I am quite pleased with the results.
Cons: none
Just Works
Pros: This is a great low-power consumption board that just works. It is small, yet contains all the features I need (Gig-E LAN and basic audio). The on-board video is the best that I've ever experienced (usually, I break down and get a video card, but I don't have to for this system -- I don't have much time to play games so that is not a concern for me).
Cons: Only one system fan header (my case has two system fans). Not worth demoting by an egg since this is a Micro-ATX board.
Quick Response
I purchased a Bluetooth audio receiver with 3.5mm mini-plug that was defective. They responded to my request for replacement within five hours and had the replacement shipped the next day. I would purchase from DirectBuy Mate again.
