Most Favorable Review

Nice board for the price

MSI Z77A-G43 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: -Looks great -Easy to use BIOS -Linux compatible -Stable -Recognized everything out of the box

Cons: -No eSATA support

Overall Review: This is a great board for the price, got it on sale for $100. Colors on this board are great and everything is nicely labeled, great for a first-time builder. Has plenty of SATA ports and HDMI, which is nice. Not that many PCI ports and no eSATA capability which is unfortunate, but acceptable due to low price. People looking for those things may want to check out the G45 model. Recognized my GSKILL 8GB memory running at full 1600MHz speed right out of the box. Runs Ubuntu 12.04 with no problems or crashes at all so far. Board is highly recommended for people on a budget, not planning to do much overclocking, looking for a quality, stable board.

Very good case

Pros: -Great airflow -USB 3.0 front ports -Looks nice -Easy installation of components

Cons: -None

Overall Review: Saw some people complain about there not being enough room to plug in SATA connections if they are mounted on the side of the motherboard. It would definitely be a tight fit if you get a motherboard with side connecting SATA ports but there was plenty of room for everything with my MSI Z77A-G43 mobo with the SATA ports on top. Keeps everything very cool due to great airflow and 3 pre-installed fans. LED light on the front looks great and is not too bright. Screwless installation of components made assembly a breeze. Highly recommend this case.
