Pros: The case itself is great, the power/reset switch wiring not so much so (see Con below). Compact and solidly built with just enough room for my components. System is being used for an HTPC build so it only has an ITX+/APU combo, PSU, and SSD. If I needed a half-height discrete GPU that'd fit as well.

Cons: Hope you have a soldering iron and a hot glue gun (or other method to stabilize the wiring) handy. You will very likely break the power and reset switch wiring off the leads for each switch, so you may want to put to try stabilizing the ends before assembly (after making sure the leads aren't already damaged). There is nothing protecting the leads for either switch aside from a small piece of heat shrink tubing that has no rigidity to it at all while the status LEDs are better protected. Unfortunately I'd read another review on for this case posted by someone else that commented about it and didn't give it much thought or I would've dumped hot glue on the ends of the two switches before I started putting it together. Instead I'll be re-soldering the wires to the switches and stabilizing them a bit before putting things back together. If you're not so inclined, there is probably more than the 1-egg I took off for the care you have to give this component of the case.

Overall Review: Pay attention to PSU depth. With a non-modular 450W Silverstone PSU I had roughly 1" to 1.5" between the PSU and the HDD bays that I was able to shove the unused PSU wiring into. Some other SFX PSUs may have more depth leaving you with no space. Would be a top notch case if not for the switch issues.

Pros: The original batch I ordered in early May has been great stuff

Cons: I ordered another set to bump my system up to 4GB of RAM.. exact same part number and everything yet the second set of memory came with 5-5-5-18 timings instead of the 5-5-5-12 of the original.

Overall Review: This would get high marks from me if the second set purchased (with identical parts and everything) had actually been identical.

Pros: 802.11AC which is nice if you need the wireless (assuming you can get it to work, see below). Board itself looks solid. Look at a Noctua NH-L9a for a cooler that just barely fits without clipping your RAM slots, but pay attention to the TDP of the processor you choose.

Cons: Before getting into my troubles, the board has an awful, atypical layout with connectors all over the place. Cooler mount on the board will have slim line cooler fines in an awkward position for exhaust, though good for tower type coolers. There is no header for a speaker to pick up diagnostic codes nor does it have the LED diagnostic display that some of their other UEFI boards have, so good luck troubleshooting. Paired the board with an A10-7700K, BIOS was at a supported rev. for the processor once I managed to get a POST. Could not get the board to POST without a discrete GPU in the PCI-E slot, which defeated the point of my selected APU. Tech support responses were generally slow (2+ days on first response, though I started late Sunday) and limited to Gigabyte's little support portal which is post and wait. Only suggestions were reset CMOS (I'd already done so several times), reseat APU (didn't help), and try a different APU (brand new build where would I have another APU laying around). I probably got a lemon board but still beware/be-forewarned. I don't think I'm the first to run into this problem with this board though.

Overall Review: Board went back to Newegg as Defective and I bought a different mfg's board. Ii'm now up and running with minimal fuss after a week of messing with this one. Every Gigabyte board I've bought over the years has thrown some quirk or another in my face though and I've pretty much given up on them at this point. Now on to the challenges of the case that I purchased!

Pros: They were cheap when I bought them before the Thailand flooding.

Cons: I've sent 3 drives back so far (one to Newegg, two to Hitachi), all from the March 2011 batch. The one back to newegg was bad when I received it. While not failing outright, they started exhibiting uncorrectable errors according to SMART. The newegg replacement came from the same batch and just went back to Hitachi.. other replacement is Oct 2011 batch we'll see how that one does.

Overall Review: Glad I'm using these as backup drives via rsync in my NAS to other manufacturer's drives as my primary drives. I'd have been in trouble if I'd relied solely on these. Good reason to diversify your drives in a NAS setup and not rely on one manufacturer only.
