Pleasant Surprise

Pros: Sleek design and good performance for what it is. I picked up this model for the wife and she really likes it. I've played with it quite a bit the past week and was surprised how responsive it was. Great for surfing while watching TV. Comes with a nice sleeve/pouch thing for carrying around as well as cleaning cloth. We've been putting it in standby when not using and haven't had to recharge for about 3 days now. I also like the shortcut keys above keyboard.
Cons: The right shift key is the only issue I have noticed with this. I saw others post comments about this and I am not used to it yet. Fingerprints are very obvious with the glossy finish.
Overall Review: I too upgraded the RAM from 1GB to 2GB. I did have to use the ASUS update tool to upgrade the BIOS before the additional Gig was recognized. XP Home - for home use it works fine. Star Office 8 - I put a copy of M$ Office XP on. Not too much bloat installed. I saw that Skype comes pre-installed and that was kind of cool. Overall I'm very happy with this purchase, the construction feels solid and the hardware is good for what it is.
Not for me

Pros: Pretty packaging
Cons: POST would be nice. I spent 4 hours trying to get POST, I achieved it once, went into the BIOS, adjusted the system time, verified a few things. When I saved and exited I got nothing but a black screen.
Overall Review: I researched the supporting hardware before I threw it together and went with quality parts. Filled out the online RMA form this weekend, it's shipping back on Monday. I'm going with an Inte| board. I don't know how many systems I've put together using Asus boards over the years, but this is rediculous. Look at the Asus forums before you by, just to know what you are getting yourself into. A lot of people are having problems with these boards.
Nice wide screen!

Pros: Nice colors and lots of real estate.
Cons: My monitor has a buzz when gaming. I have been playing with various settings but have not found the magic combination just yet. Hopefully I get it figured, this has been the only disappointment so far. I'm knocking 1 egg off for this. Hopefully I figure out what's going on. [Update 6/17 - Buzzing was coming from a speaker directly behind the monitor, so it has nothing to do with the monitor. Added an egg back because the buzz was the reason for 4 eggs.]
Overall Review: I got this one on sale and overall I'm happy with my purchase. I really didn't want a 1080 monitor as I prefer 1200. Had it not been on sale I probably would have picked something up with a better resolution. I previously was running a dual 24" setup with screens at 1920x1200. The reason for this purchase was to replace the main screen, which blew up recently.
Well built

Pros: Solid design - Body feels very solid and the cherry reds are great. This is my first mechanical keyboard in years and I really like it. Good lighting options - Check out some youtube videos and see what you can do with the lighting - if you have the extra cash you might check out the RGB version of this board, pretty cool. Volume roller - My first keyboard with a volume roller wheel was a Logitech board and I swore I'd never go back to a board without one. My last board was a refurb and I had some issues so I decided to give this one a go. The roller is super convenient and works well.
Cons: The included palm rest does nothing for me. Not sure if I'd call it a con or not, but it was kind of funky.
Overall Review: This board comes with some "gaming" keys. They are curved and have some texture to them - keys are WASD123456. I have been using them since the first week of having the board and I like them. I play some FPS stuff as well as MMORPG and it works well for me. I mention this because I saw some youtube heroes talk smalk about them - really, the feel fine and aren't bad for regular typing. One thing I wanted to mention is that I spilled water on the keyboard and soaked it. If you have to take it apart there is a screw under the corsair label in the middle of the keyboard. I didn't do a good job taking it apart and it's now messed up looking. Other than that the only other weird screw location is a plastic cap on the right side of the roller. Lots of little screws on the board and once you get it apart there's a ribbon flat ribbon cable you have to deal with. I used some forceps to reattach it because my meaty sausage fingers didn't work too well. Anywho, I managed to dry the board out and everything has been working fine. Great board!
Solid

Pros: Solid little switches, just plug and go.
Cons: None
Overall Review: I picked up two of these to give certain areas of my home wired network a bit more access. So far so good. There shouldn't be much to say when it works. No dead ports between the devices and good throughput.
It worked fine for me

Pros: Bought as an upgrade chip for my UX32VD and it works perfectly fine.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Was a little leery about getting it because of the negative review but it worked fine for me.
