Motherboard review...

Pros: This board is really nice. It has alot of options and does not cost too much! It has 4 SATAII, 7.0 realtek onboard audio. By the way the set for your surround sound is pretty cool.(GUI) Also it has 3 add ons for USB, even comes with a USB add on card. It has PCIxE and 10/100/1000 ethernet onboard. It has a good quite fan on the north bridge, and has added heat spreader over by the processor. She looks cool, and booted up the very first time i fired her up!!! Im happy and recomend this MB.
Cons: Funny placement for the IDE, and no onboard vid., but thats why it has PCIxE, to add a better graphics card any way, sooo..........

Vid Card Review

Pros: Looks cool, and thats about it.
Cons: This card has many , many issues. It will crash under load, and is horrible in doom 3. It has errors and artifacts at the stock speed newegg sent it to me at. I just dont understand. My friend had the same card and it look way better. The only difference is he went with another brand......
Overall Review: Also it has lines running across the screen when moving the mouse fast from one wall to the other during game. Maybe i will look into other brands, or just stick with Nvidia.
Fan Review...

Pros: The only reason i even gave it 3 stars is because it does help keep my case cool. But also have three other fans that help alot more..
Cons: It is one of the worst, no-air moving fu@$rs i have ever had. I cannot feel air even when i put my hand right up on it. It just has NO power what so ever.
Overall Review: Buy another fan, seriously.
UPS Dopped it...

Pros: -good air flow -looks good -has side window -the front expansion bay covers are really hard plastic, good quality.
Cons: -Really soft metal, the back in/out bends very easy. -if dropped (like ups) the front face plate on the case will snap off, and will never go back on.
Overall Review: newegg customer service is the best
