Pros: Flawless memory. Runs great in two DG965WH Intel systems that I just built. Super heat sinks.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Mushkin answered all my concerns about 965 Intel chipset issues. Mushkin kept dialogue going for three days until they knew that I had all my questions answered.

Pros: Great, solid, attractive case. Just built my new system with this one. Like the separation of the p/s from the motherboard. Also like feeding the wires up and not having the hanging everywhere.

Cons: Hard to work around the p/s with the modular plugs in the Enermax ELT500AWT after it was installed. Connect first and them install if possible.

Overall Review: The case is big, solid and heavy. A big quality upgrade from my Thermaltake Soprano. It is also attractive and holds lots of drives. So far 3 Seagate 320 SATAs, 2 optical drives and room for lots more.

Pros: This is the second system that I have built recently based on this board. It is a solid product and an easy build.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Should have documentation that warns you to only use 1.8 Volt 5.5.5-12 memory. It's not an overclocker's M/B.
