Pros: Stable, lots of features, good layout, runs cool. Solid build quality.

Cons: None. Not a one that I could find.

Overall Review: This board was purchased for an audio/video workstation with a 6-core Phenom II. I've never bought MSI before, I gravitate towards ASUS. However, after working with this board, I would buy MSI again. It worked with the six-cire out of the box, and I was able to do a quick flash of the BIOS to the minty-fresh version of the BIOS (at this point, 1.2) from a USB stick. I like the USB stick as an option, as my primary workstation is a Mac Pro, and it made it easy to download and flash. MSI has good support for Linux as well. Overall, impressive. I took a bit of a gamble on this one, but it paid off.

Pros: Well, it has a TV tuner.

Cons: Poor color consistency. Really poor vertical viewing angle. Somewhat fuzzy as opposed to other Samsungs. Does not appear to be HDCP-compliant.

Overall Review: Usually, Samsung is a no-brainer as a purchase. We've bought dozens of various models without an issue, including less-expensive ones. However, the pair we bought was sub-par in color consistency, viewing angle, and sharpness. I would recommend staying away from them for any critical use, but they do make a cheap TV and general-purpose screen, I guess.

Pros: Quiet, fast, stable, reliable. Just what I'd expect.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I've bought a number of these drives (these and others in the series), and I've never, ever been disappointed. They just work, be it in a Mac Pro, a PC, an external case, or in a SATA dock for transport of media files. Many (far too many) years ago, I used to rely on Micropolis drives, and I've never been as fond of a drive manufacturer since - until Samsung in the past couple of years. Let's put it this way: Not only do I use them at work, but I use them at home in *my* equipment.

Pros: Great bang-for-the-buck, stable, fast, well-built. Good warranty. Quiet.

Cons: Annoying registration process.

Overall Review: This card is working well in an audio/video workstation. I'm impressed at the build quality, and the speed - we have a few machines with GTX 285's in them and we really can't tell the difference. I'd buy it again, no problem.

Pros: Very stable under load, stays cool, works just as it should.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I bought two sets to use with a 6-core Phenom II and an msi 890FX board. Works like a charm at stock speeds, we have not tried overclocking yet.

Pros: Oooooooh, shiny! Also works very well.

Cons: I don't care for the fan speed controller.

Overall Review: Other than the fan speed controller (useless to me, the motherboard does a better job in my case), it's a stellar cooler. It keeps a 6-core Phenom II at 45c or less under a full load. (Stock 3.2GHz clock).
