solid

Pros: solid, works.
Cons: NO WINDOWS 7 DRIVER SUPPORT FROM LINKSYS. Using the Vista driver is spotty on both 32 and 64 bit. Read around the web.
solid platform

Pros: good for a midrange gaming board. its not a tiny tot, its not a heavy duty rig mobo. criticizing this board because it can't satisfy your hardware daydreams is invalid.
Cons: no complaints
solid so far

Pros: no problems, smooth install and running fine on bios 1101. Running great with G.SKILL F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL 2x2. I'm not much of an overclocker, so I don't play around much with that, but it was easy to set the speed and voltage of the RAM. Built-in throttling of the CPU fan. BIOS was easy enough to understand. ASUS' support website is not bad. Area around the CPU mount is pretty clean.
Cons: ASUS software downloads are on the whole not very useful. The VIA soundboard software is bulky. It doesn't detect when the front audio plugs are used, but that's a limitation of my case. You'll want to use three straight-up SATA cables and three right-angle cables for the six sata ports on the edge of the board. Would have been nice to have a redundant NIC, which I've found useful in the past, but I knew that was a limitation when I bought.
Overall Review: like others have said, this is a full size ATX board that only uses six standoffs instead of the regular nine. If you're a jerk and want to flex your board, go ahead, but you've been warned. I don't hold it against the board's design, it functionally is no different. Just make sure you remove any of the remaining three standoffs if you re-use a case. I'll update the review if anything happens, but so far so good.
no problems

Pros: no problems, clear labeling of stock speed and voltage. I'm not much of an overclocker, so nothing to say there.
Cons: none
works

Pros: does what it is supposed to do. big speed and reliability upgrade over my older motorola cable modem. approved by cox.
Cons: none
ok

Pros: does what its supposed to do. i didn't bother implementing the deal with the orange light on the front.
Cons: bumped it down one egg because with the shipped firmware, you cannot provide a static IP to something like a printer.
