Pros: - Extremely fast wifi with excellent range and quality - My 100mbps connection tests just as well on N/AC as it does on cat6a across the entire house (105mbps down / 5mbps up)... and this baby is in the basement - Interface is simplistic but still fairly robust for stock firmware

Cons: - No DD-WRT support yet - Price (not really a con since I feel like I've got the Lamborghini of routers) - Interface leaves a bit to be desired, but I anticipate several open source alternative firmwares once it's been on the market a while

Overall Review: I've only had it a couple of days so far, but it's been outstandingly fast and reliable. I'll leave more details after I've had it running for a while. I was a bit worried reading about stories of overheating and crashing, but it's only warm to the touch and hasn't had any issues whatsoever thus far.

Pros: - Cheap - Average Mobo - Plenty of USB ports and HDMI

Cons: - Driver CD automated install on Windows 7 will install incompatible drivers - Difficult to get compatible drivers for all devices in Windows 7 - Must disable legacy USB support in UEFI to get OS stable when running Windows 7

Overall Review: This is a basic motherboard with decent features. I had a lot of trouble getting drivers installed without causing conflicts, and I finally figured out that the legacy / third-party USB support enabled by default in UEFI can cause random freezing in Windows 7. I initially used the auto-install, but this installed an incompatible video driver that would cause crashes and freezing. Even a third-party Intel video driver scrubber couldn't get rid of it. Overall it's not bad once you get driver conflicts sorted out. Just avoid the auto-install on the driver CD on Windows 7. Ultimately, I reinstalled the OS after my initial build, and the I installed only the NIC driver from the CD - then downloaded the rest from the site to ensure I had the latest and most compatible. If you buy this and want to install Windows 7 on it: 1. Disable legacy and third party USB support in UEFI 2. Install OS 3. Install NIC driver ONLY from CD 4. Download the rest of the missing drivers from ASRock's website

Pros: - Quick installation and configuration. - Works great. - Outstanding for the price.

Cons: Drivers don't seem to be available on the Sans Digital website, so keep the driver CD safe...

Overall Review: Working great in a Dell PowerEdge 2850 running Windows Server 2003 Standard 32-bit. One caveat is that you can't just plug in a drive - you have to configure a RAID for it. So, for a single eSATA drive, you'd have to configure a RAID array for the single drive (either by entering the BIOS for the card during boot or using the Windows utility). RHEL drivers are included on the driver disk, but I'm not sure if this card supports any other versions of Linux (officially speaking). Also, it seems to integrate well with Sans Digital external enclosures - it is able to see that I have a hardware RAID10 setup on an external enclosure of the same brand.

Pros: Great specs; if only the system would boot.

Cons: Quality is horrible. DoA is too common. Memory support is also VERY strict. I wouldn't recommend buying anything that they haven't tested.

Overall Review: This is the 2nd bad board I've received from Gigabyte. I won't be ordering another.

Pros: Looks cool.

Cons: Does not come with enough screws and it requires special screws to mount everything due to the thickeness of the plexi-glass. Two of the three fans died within the first few months and the third one has bearing noise.

Overall Review: If you want a case ONLY for aesthetics then this is the case for you. If you want functionality then go with something else. I wish I hadn't wasted money on this case.

Pros: Absolutely no pros... I guess it does boot if you only want to use one processor.

Cons: Asus technical support is almost nonexistent; we had two, yes two of these boards so far, the first being DOA. The second board will not boot with 2 cpus installed, but works fine with only 1 cpu. The cpus are both identical Opteron 246 socket 940 CPUs and will each work in CPU socket 1. I already hated ASUS and this has just reinforced my hatred.
