Pros: Everything you need minus the OS, perfect for a technician or builder with a little knowledge, or a Linux enthusiast. A little dated but enough for a backup box or a media server [Media on Attached NAS] not hosting. Good for a young child's first box, setup and install Toolwiz Timefreeze. Specs are enough to run the basics. 3GHz Dual Core is adequate to power Windows 7 to Windows 10 and Linux. 4GB of DDR 2 6400 is enough, but the board in mine, [DQ45CB] supports 16GB across 4 slots [2 Open] My unit came with a 160GB Seagate 7200rpm not the 80GB described [Thanks EPC]. Perfect to make a very usable 120GB with a 29GB backup partition. I loaded Windows 7 Pro SP1 [Thanks EPC] All the Updates and Drivers after extensive testing of all hardware. For those that care, MS Experience Index 1.0 - 7.9 as follows Processor: 6.5 Memory: 5.9 [Shared Max with GFX chip] Graphics: 4.4 3D Graphics: 3.6 Hard Drive: 5.9 I have the extra ram around so I'll move it to 8GB and I bought a graphics card 9SIA1N83V74323 .. [which I regret, $42 GT 710] that I might through in, to boost the numbers and provide for better media play through my TV. I wish that I could have bought a refurbished card for $15 to $25 bucks but Newegg's policy of not at least confirming inclusion of the low profile plate means I will never waste my time with those.

Cons: One minor scuff, not a con, but just pointing out that these are refurbished, such things should be expected. One issue, the unit's BIOS has an Intel feature [Intel Active Management Technology] on my unit's Intel DQ45CB motherboard, that caused the unit to power up for a second and power off, every few minutes. Fix is Below.

Overall Review: On the Intel DQ45CB - Enter bios with F2, navigate to Intel ME. The default password is admin (case sensitive), you have to change that to a strong password before proceeding. Your password has to be 8 to 32 characters long and must have at least one upper case character, one lower case character, one number, and a special character like !,@,#,$,%,^,&,*. Then go to IME configuration and change manageable feature from Intel AMT to none. Save and Exit! Thanks FritzWue

Pros: It had good specs and was fairly well rated.

Cons: Meant to serve as a secondary drive... Showed up on initial boot, then disappeared on next. I thought it was the Intel Rapid Storage drive at first, tried both Windows 7 and Windows 8, alt cables to no effect. Turned out to be the drive itself, could keep present to test but system eventually started booting to check disk, and the drive had only been formatted never used or accessed.

Overall Review: I've used OCZ, Crucial, and Adata SSD drives over the years, this was my first Corsair. I don't think their a bad brand, just got a bad one. I'm stuck with a replacement given Newegg policy but, I ordered an Adata as well given I've had a proven history with them. The replacement Corsair will fill a less vital role. It kinda bites that something can't be done as far as covering shipping on DOA product within 30 days. Why should customers pay for a defective unit that got past quality control. Seems that should be passed on to the manufacture.

Pros: - Attractive and Clean Design: It allowed for a near cable-less interior. Quality & Feature for Price = 5 Eggs - The exterior is a bright white backed enamel with black plastic vent accents. - Optional ROM mount without the bulky cage, I was worried about this at first, but it's nice if your not mounting one. - Plenty of expansion space for both SSD and HDD - Will handle the longest GRX card you got. - Opening for Fan/Sink remounting without pulling the board. - Side panel has a half inch push out for cable management space. Not entirely needed with the stepped mount-plate design. - Great Size for ATX: Just the right amount of space if you want to build with Mechanical Drives or go SLI / Crossfire.

Cons: - Someone posted a 3 egg review for under the JAX12-W complaining that when he leaned on the case it dented. Really? - The metal on this case is thin, not the thinest I've seen, I would not recommend it to carry to a LAN party or to sit / lean on. - Not a Con, but some of the fan mounting and venting areas are "over perforated" making the metal weaker.

Overall Review: Assuming you don't get a unit that is damaged or missing something, and you understand the limits of the material and can visualize the provided measurements, there is no real reason not to see this as a 5 egg case given quality / feature for the price.

Pros: Great features, okay price, until I got around to installing a Graphics Card.

Cons: Graphic Artifacts and Lag / Low Frame Rates, Streaming Media & Gaming: 3 Different GTX 1070 ( from different MFG) & an AMD - RX480 - Multiple PSU Two Different Corsair PSUs, CX750M & TX650W, RAM Swapped, External NIC, Everything Except the board was Swapped.

Overall Review: Would Steer Clear of This Board, No Recent BIOS Updates, Tried Everything. Of Course It's past 30 Days. I built dozens of systems, I've worked as a PC repair technician for the last 15 years. Normally I stick to ASRock boards, but thought I'd give Gigabyte a shot, I've used them years ago. My Mistake, now between Newegg return policy and Gigabyte, best I can hope for is a refurbished board from a MFG that I don't want to be involved with anymore, along with a waist of time and shipping at my cost for a defective board under 90 days.

Pros: Nice badge to compliment your build. Fits nicely on a ROM plate.

Cons: I did a new build the end of 2013 and went with BitFenix fans, thought they deserved a badge on the case with the rest of the MFGs got it for $5.99 and thought that was a bit high for something the RAM and Graphics and CPU makers give for free. $30.00 for this badge is simply the MFG saying FU to their customers, maybe it's NE doing it as they can be found for $5 elsewhere.

Overall Review: Getting ready to do a new build.... Will not be buying the badge here...

Pros: The board itself has good features and decent layout. For a small mATX PC it's as feature packed as your likely to find for the sub 75 price. At the time of my purchase it came with a code for Battle Field 4 which still sells for 60 bucks. Very little to fault the board without nit-picking.

Cons: The minor issues that people, and myself have with this board was on the support side. Some posts are talking about USB issues, which I had myself. For those of you concerned or having issues, it's in the fact that the USB 3 drivers are not posted on the MSI site for the board. They are not installed with the chipset drivers. The Live Update utility does download them for you if you run it, as well as the BIOS. A 1 egg reduction, for shipping a product that needs a BIOS update out of the box and not providing a simple driver on the motherboard page [where people are looking] that would solve every ones issue with the USB. I never had this kind of issue with ASRock.

Overall Review: The board is great as far as feature and design. If you make sure to install the Renesas USB 3 driver, not listed on the motherboard page, and go ahead and flash the BIOS right away, you can avoid the minor snags some of us have hit. The driver is on the DVD under others. or the Live Update will download it. Forget the link in the MFG response here, it's a dead link. Run your setup disc after OS install and you should be able to give 5 eggs.

I got the unit in quick fashion, arrived intact and in acceptable condition [minor scuff] but it was a refurbished unit, No problem. Passed all my tests, running fine, and had better than advertised specs, plus a bonus. If I had the need I would order again, and I have already told my friends.
