Great Display
Pros: Easy to install. Works with Win 7 32 bit. The one I got came with a blue display (which is what I really wanted!), not too bright.
Cons: None
Overall Review: I hesitated to buy this because of the green display shown in the ad and because the shipping was too high. When the shipping came down, I took a chance. Works great!!!
Inadequate Anchorage
Pros: It sounded quiet for the few minutes that I got it to work.
Cons: The 4 plastic anchors that are supposed to hold this thing are totally inadequate. Two of them would never seat. The result is after about a minute of operation, the computer shut down due to high CPU temp. This thing is massive, had to break the bottom loop of the fan guard to install it with the RAM in place.
Overall Review: It might have potential if you can get it to actually attach to the motherboard. The plastic anchors are cheap garbage. I replaced it with the stock Intel fan which installed easily and, so far, works fine. Spend your money on Lotto tickets, you'll get a better deal.
McAfee AntiVirus Plus
Pros: Good antivirus suite for a good price. And the credit card renewal is optional, unlike another competitor suite. This is a highly rated suite.
Cons: Setup could be a little more intuitive, but it works!
Overall Review: I recommend it.
Malware bytes
Pros: Great program, best malware program out now. Relatively easy installation (considering none of them will give you a disc now). Everybody should have this on their computer.
Overall Review: Definitely recommend this program
Died in 6 months
Pros: None
Cons: The board died in lees than 6 months. New build fore my son, away at school, typing a report. Heard a "pop", got a message "no DVI input" the got vertical line on the monitor. Had to haul it half way across the state; tried new video card; board is DEAD.
Overall Review: This is a re-rating from my 1-22-2014 rating below. Do not buy this board. In fact, think real hard about using AS Rock. Now I have to get another board, fix it, haul the computer back halfway across the state and set it up again. Does anyone make a decent MB?
New Build for Son
Pros: Outstanding case. As usual great product from Lian Li.
Cons: None
Overall Review: When will they stop making everything in Black?
Webcam
Good deal, good transaction.
