Pros: Ran 24/7 (100% load) from Aug until late Oct with no problems. Got shipped halfway around the world in the case with the HSF's removed. The case got trashed. The PSU got trashed. New PSU, a repaired case and the HSF's re-installed and it powered right up and into Windows with both Opty 250's in all their glory. O/C's the 250's(2400MHz) to 2650MHz easily with Clockgen and Corsair PC3200 Reg ECC. Been running as such for the past month 24/7, 100% load (F@H)with no lockups.

Cons: I'm not fond of the chipset location/cooler solution. Video cards come way too close to the fan in this in this location.

Overall Review: Bang for the buck...easy winner. You want a pure server board... pay the extra and get the board notorious for that purpose. You want something that'll game while you have half a dozen things running in the background and want to save a couple hundred bucks...get this.

Pros: Quiet and great power.

Cons: Burned out in a spectacular visual display of pyrotechnics after 18 months of use.

Overall Review: This is the second one I've had burn out in a week in separate, but identical systems. The other one died while I was sleeping. I got to see this one go. Gave great 24/7/365 service while it lasted. Here's hoping it didn't fry anything else when it went. BTW, took both apart and they both burned out in the exact same place, under the smaller heatsink on the vent end of the circuit card.

Pros: Would've had a lot of storage at a nice price.

Cons: Wasn't recognized by either of my computers, 1 running Vista, 1 running XP. Tried multiple USB ports and 3 different cables. My old 1TB drive works fine in all of the same ports so it's not the computers.

Overall Review: Should've listened to all of the negative reviews here and elsewhere about these drives. Ah, well, at least the return policy is easy.

Pros: Still going strong a year later. Price/Performance ratio still extremely high. Decent features for the price.

Cons: Had a northbridge cooler fan die on one of my oldest boards a couple weeks ago. Don't know if they're still shipping with the non-dual core BIOS or not.

Overall Review: Not bad considering what these boards have been through in the last 18 months. They've been run 24/7/365 @ 100% CPU load and shipped halfway around the world with only the previously reported hiccups. Nothing a modified Zalman NB HS couldn't fix.

Pros: Easy to mount with even a basic mechanical ability. Keeps 3 of my Asus K8N-DL Northbridges cool enough even in a low airflow case. Hard to beat the price.

Cons: The tall profile can put some people off in some situations.

Overall Review: Where there's a will and an imagination there is a way.

Pros: Quiet!

Cons: Don't care much for their selection of what connectors to put on the modular cables. I always end up with at least two unused connectors on each cable.

Overall Review: I've been using one of these for ~9 months at 24/7 100% CPU load with no hiccups. The second one has been under the same usage for ~4 months. I wonder if I'm just lucky (several life experiences say NO!) or if some of these reviewers are just unlucky or inept.
