Pros: Fast, and reliable equipment. These units to everything every you could ever need a firewall to do.

Cons: doesn't make coffee.

Overall Review: I've seen many reviews on newegg from people that buy expensive business class firewalls and complain when they open it up and doesn't auto configure itself like their home routers do. Ignore any reviews that say Cisco products didn't work out of the box. 99.999% of the time its a person who shouldn't be touching Cisco products in the first place and has no idea what they are doing.

Pros: Its a cheap well built motherboard when you know how to build servers.

Cons: There isn't a 4 ethernet port version

Overall Review: To clarify some other peoples complaints when get the motherboard and have it installed in the system you have to go in to the EFI shell(F6 to open the boot menu then select EFI shell) to update the board and program it so it knows what fans you have installed. When you get the FRU/SDR section of the bios update you'll answer yes/no questions to which fans and features are plugged in if its not an Intel Chassis. On system boot the splash screen covers raid cards, so go into the bios and disable quiet boot. Also Adaptec makes bad raid cards for the money. If you're in the $300-$500 go LSI. For SBS2011 drivers you go to intel's download center and download the Server 2008 R2 drivers. SBS 2011 is Server 2008 R2 with the current versions of Exchange and SQL. I've built 100's of these systems for work and with Intel server products their is a little bit of a learning curve but, the added features are worth it and is an overall better product then Asus, Supermicro, and Tyan.

Pros: SATA and lightscribe

Cons: you have to go into the device manager and set the region code on it before it will work correctly

Overall Review: the drive is fast and quite plus i don't have to find a sharpie to label the disc. AMD opteron 165 (939) 2GBs corsair XMS BFG 7900 GS,160gig Seagate SATA 2 HD, 160gig Hitachi SATA1, and 250gig Hitachi SATA1 sony DVDRW and SAMSUNG DVDRW

Pros: This motherboard has a ton of options like sata 2, sli, and Overclocking glore.

Cons: all your cables (ata, sata, case, usb, firewire, uguru) go to the bottom right cornor and can cause some wiring issues. The motherboard has a molex connector you have to plug in below the second pci slot.

Overall Review: if your using an X2 remember to flash your bios, It can cause stablity issues if you don't. Its easy to do threw the abit flashbios in windows

Comments: This ram is high quality i mean this stuff rocks. Abit Fatal1ty AN8-SLi AMD 64 4000+ San deigo core Corsair XMS 2GB of ram 2 Hitachi 160GB SATA in raid 0 MSI Ati X800XL Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Gamer

Comments: OK i've seen a few people saying that you can't run dual sticks and have it at 2.0, this is what do. Corsair says it will run at the speed so go into the bios and change it yourself that if some reason it dies like your house is struck by lightning and ur computer explodes the warrenty is good some motherboards won't detech the 2.0. My Abit IS7 did but i went it to overclock mine anyways either way it works just like corsair said.
