Pros: Many features for the enthusiast with lots of OC options. Booted up 1st time. Energy saving features. Passive massive heatsink coolers. Currently top of the line chipset (X48). Two SATA controller chips with multiple RAID options. Board is very well laid out,quality metal caps,clean design. Audio sound great from HD onboard solution. Adds to a successful mobo line that's tried and tested (P5E3 family). Stable and easily Oc'd later to 3.2GHz CPU (from 2.66 stock) and 1600 MHz DDR3 speed. May well go higher but not needed at this time. My 9800 GTX works great. If you want to tease more speed and brag,the feature set with this board will do it for you - but be prepared for a trial of whats-up-nows?...

Cons: ASUS is a bit slow to do BIOS updates. Makes SURE your memory and CPU are on the official support list on the ASUS site. Mine work but aren't officially supported. EZ Flash BIOS Utility has caused a lot of headaches. Express Gate feature ditto,often disabled to make sure all else functions. Some 45nm CPUs not yet supported (Q9450,Q9300 not on the list of qualified CPUs ... yet.)Make sure your CPU Cooler will fit onto the board as the copper heatpipes may interfere with bigger aftermarket coolers.I highly recommend the Artic Freezer 7 Pro if your case will fit its height. Pricey mobo and must use expensive DDR3...go elsewhere if you need to save $. Some users are having graphics board hassles as not all seem to work properly with Crossfire or a single NVidia GX2 card -(obviously only ATI boards can use Crossfire ie 2 boards in SLI).I went with a single NVidia eVGA 9800GTX for the benefit of best game support and drivers.

Pros: Sammie quality I can depend on! Fast and roomy with hi durability. Excellent price.

Cons: Nada

Overall Review: This is a superb choice for any device as it is FAST and top notch quality.

Pros: EVGA dependability; NEWEGG Purchase

Cons: Only Bronze Rated, Not Full Modular Cabling Newegg Shuffle Combo; Had to get this PSU bundled to get the EVGA 3070Ti Video Card I wanted so bad...

Overall Review: Limited by Bronze Rating and only 700W. I would not buy this alone but am stuck with it as I really wanted the EVGA 3070Ti Video Card it was bundled with in the NEWEGG SHUFFLE I lucked out and won. Don't get me wrong, EVGA has quality products so this will be a spare PSU if I ever need one...

Pros: Hard to get but slick and dependable with excellent video quality. I love EVGA for their great products! NEWEGG is as always SUPERB!

Cons: Cost and High Power Consumption at 270 Watts; not stressing it that much though.

Overall Review: I Recommend this card if you can get one! Great product, good luck in the Newegg shuffle!

Pros: Good choice and can't beat the price for a drive that will read Blu Ray and HD (not write them though). Whatta price compared to the days of $300 CD only writers!

Cons: None.

Overall Review: SATA is the way to go. BluRay writers are rapidly dropping in price but the media's still too high. Great funtionality with this drive.

Pros: A fine choice for gaming or other options. Cross ship RMA policy available for a tiny additional cost from eVGA. Runs cool and the fan is not loud. Dual monitor capable,dual HDMI out. eVGA has an upgrade policy.

Cons: None at this time. Pricey of course, but there's always something new around the corner which causes the price to drop...at this time this was the right price/performance solution for me.
