Pros: Well first off if you have trouble with the board then you have no business build a computer, out of the box the build booted right on cue. Knowing how it all should be put together is 99 percent of the battle. I have read the horror stories but believe those come from builders that are completely over their head. For the person who paid for shipping then you did the RMA online, had you called and talked to a service provider NewEgg would have paid for return shipping. I have been using NewEgg for years. In fact on this build I had to return a video card due to broken fan blades and NewEgg paid the shipping. Furthermore the Zalman heatsink I bought did not fit the board even though the HS said it would. Again NewEgg paid for the return shipping.

Cons: I am not going to give it 5 stars because nothing is perfect. Do I have anything negative to say of the MB? NO… If you’re on the ropes on buying do not hesitate as this is one outstanding MB that will fit your needs. PERIOD!!!!

Overall Review: For those that think they know everything and still run into issues then read the manual, you may be surprised what you may not know. It gets old reading these comments when in fact many off the issues are caused by human error and failure to read the manual.

Pros: Well had the board been operational chances are I would not have returned it for a refund, but I hope all works out. I have bought the new ASUS M4A79 DELUXE and the AMD Phenom II X4 940 Deneb CPU. NewEgg rocks when it comes to customer satisfaction and solving the problem, even pickup the return shipping fees...

Cons: DOA

Pros: This is with of a doubt one of the finest 22 inch monitors on the market. With its 2ms rating you are assured of having a great gaming experience if you choose. No ghosting that I can see and no bleeding. With the high gloss screen the images just pop out with color. I did not tell my wife I had bought a new monitor hoping she would not notice. She’s one of these women that are happy listening to AM radio listening to music than CD music. Go figure… Well she noticed right away. I had the desktop locked so she did not see the screen in full color. Once she did I could not kept her of the computer. She started bring up vacation photos, and watching videos. She is not one that is easy to be impressed and she was astounded and blown away of the quality of this monitor. If you do not believe me take a ride to Circuit City or Best Buy and have a look at this monitor. It’s sleek and thin with a high gloss finish. This is a assume monitor even at $339.00 but I paid $269.10 plus tax… NEW…

Cons: Only con I have is with people complaining it does not have a USB port or DVI cable. Who cares, you’re buying a monitor and the monitor does one thing, display the content. DVI cables that are supplied are typically cheap and not what I would want to use to transfer the content to the display. I guess some will complain that for this price it should have speakers, has anyone heard any of these monitors with speakers sound good? Come’ on people you’re buying a quality monitor you do not need all these whistles and bells that are more of a gimmick than being practical.

Overall Review: I am going to go buy another monitor and have a dual display for editing of movies.

Pros: I bought 4 sticks of this memory. What a price and with the $40.00 rebate you would have to be a fool not to by this memory. Using XP Pro.

Cons: Wish I could buy 100 sticks of this memory and keep on hand for customers computers at this price.

Overall Review: Here is what I have inside my case, ZALMAN ZM850-HP ULTRA QUIET ATX POWER SUPPLY, ASUS M2N-SLI DELUXE MOBO, 4X1GB PATRIOT EXTREME PERFORMANCE MEMORY, ZALMAN 9700 LED CPU COOLER, AMD ATHLON 64 X2 6000+ PROCESSOR, 2- LITE-ON 20X DVD±R DVD BURNERS, 2 - XFX PVT88PYDE4 GeForce 8800GT EXTREME 512MB VIDEO CARDS, 2- 120MM SCYTHE S-FLEX SFF21E CASE FANS, 4 - SAMSUNG SpinPoint T Series HD501LJ 500GB HARD DRIVES.

Pros: Assume CPU heat sink cooler. You have to make sure it will fit and clear the power supply and drives. Has the ability to adjust the fan speed of which the controller comes with the HS. Very easy to mount to an AMD board, much easier if the power supply is not installed. If you have a side mounted panel cover fan you may need to remove the fan as the cooler is huge. Cooling is incredible. You can not go wrong with this cooler. Do a Google search for reviews and they will back this cooler. It is a heavy beast. I may place an additional stainless washer underneath the hold down strap to apply more pressure to seat the HS to the CPU which would be very easy to do.

Cons: No cons from me..

Pros: Great price for an attractive case. Nice layout of the case with a 120mm fan in the rear and the ability to place an 80mm, 92mm, or 120mm fan up front on the bottom of the case, this drawing air through the case and out the back. Also an 80mm fan could be used on the side panel but if you’re using a large CPU cooler such as I am using this fan location can not be used. Great ventilation with the entire front of the case being wire mesh screen. The case is small in nature compared to my Antec case but has the ability to hold a number of drives. A little on the light side but well worth the money whether your on a budget or building a monster of a computer.

Cons: This is not a con, just needed more space: Has a quick drive mounting system that I tossed the quick mounts. I wanted my DVD drives to sit flush with the wire mesh screens on the two drive bays that I am not using. In order to flush the drives I had to use the included screws. Another nice feature is the both side panels are removable so that you can gain access to both sides of the drives to mount the drives with screws and allow the user to do a good job of wire management to keep the case clean for airflow. Having two USB ports including the headphone and mic jacks up front is nice but they do take up on 1 of the 3.5 drives spaces on the front panel which is not a big deal as the drive space behind them is still useable. The case shows a firewire jack but it’s not a jack at all. This is really a nice budget case that really looks good. For a gamer, the wire mess front using a blue LED fan on the front of the case would bring added color to the silver and black case.
