Pros: Still running after 4 years. Still running original AMD Phenom II X4 945. Upgraded memory a couple years ago. And added an SSD for running W7. For the most part it has done everything ive asked it to. Im not a gamer anymore, mostly productive stuff, yet sometimes high CPU productive stuff.

Cons: Something is wrong with the montherboard SATA connectors. I spent the first two months with BSODs every day or two. Tried lots of stuff but eventually figured out that I need to reseat the SATA cables once a month. So for the last four years I get a monthly set of BSODs that I then fix by reseating the SATA cables on the motherboard. I have replaced all cables and the problem continues. Maybe cheap connectors or bad alloys that get oxidized fast on the motherboard. Ive never had another motherboard do this. I live in the desert with constant low humidity. Sucks to have to take the case apart every month.

Overall Review: I regret buying it, but maybe ASUS boards are better now. This board lessened my ASUS brand loyalty.

Pros: Quick and easy setup. Took 2 minutes total. Stable and fast network connection. small unit. power from usb. very handy.

Cons: 1. Unit has IP address 192.168.1.252 that cant be changed. So you can only use one on network and you must use network prefix of 192.168.1.xxx. 2. Device offers up wifi password through browser setup, so anybody on your LAN can read the wifi password. NEEDs firmware update to fix these issues.

Pros: Working great as an HTPC. Running XBMC most of the time, with Windows Media Center as needed to watch TV shows recorded on my MythTV backend. All video looks perfect except for Netflix. Wifi works perfect. Fits very nice on the back of my TV. Keyboard and mouse work good and are small and light. HDMI video and audio out work perfect. idles at 10-15 watts and runs at 20-21 watts. LOW POWER!

Cons: no real support from asus for this thing yet. Paid premium for Windows 7 just so i could use Netflix = lame. Lots of ASUS bloatware to be removed.

Overall Review: Netflix works ~ok~. SD is fine. HD is terrible. Its my understanding that this is a Silverlight issue and not because of this box. When microsoft updates silverlight this is supposed to be better. no system dvd included - so get a 16gb usb drive to backup the system restore partition.

Pros: This is used for a Mythbuntu 11.04 Backend. Has two HVR-1600 and one HVR-2250 tuner cards. This is four tuners total. They all work great (it took some worrk to get the 2250 working in linux). and work at the same time. Thats why i got this board - low power with extra pci slots. Complete system (including a 1tb wd green and 1 dvd drive) uses ~55 watts. A little more than i wanted but it does its job. The video output from this thing is really nice for watching tv and videos. I think it would make a great mythtv frontend too.

Cons: none

Overall Review: Ive had ongoing trouble getting audio out from mythbuntu. its fixed at the moment but quite sure what i did. Im sure its not because of the board, but a linux thing.

Pros: Using for Mytbuntu 11.04 frontend, All the hardware seems to be supported in linux. Works great. Im running it off an 8GB CF card through an SATA adapter. Boots really fast. Output to TV through HDMI (no overscan issues at all) working great and digital audio out into my amp. Low power - the entire system (CF card, CD drive) maxes out at ~30 watts under full load, and idles ~22. Great board!

Cons: ASUS hasnt done any bios updates (that could be a pro).

Overall Review: It originally had a random shutdown problem. It would suddenly shut off instantly without warning. Turned out to be a power supply issue and had nothing to do with the board. Im now using a new PicoPSU, the smallest available and it has been rock solid.
