works

Pros: works exactly as specified
Cons: none
Defective out of box

Pros: none
Cons: Built a high end system, with time constraints on when it was due. system was Ryzen 9 with all bells and whistles. Put it together, no display. reset bios, went through all troubleshooting to no avail. tried my old video card. booted perfectly. tried another video card by msi. booted perfectly. tried this card in another build - no display. saw reviews on card - all poor. did not want another one of these. Finally got rma with store credit, which is acceptable because i need other stuff. I expect a pricey card to work perfectly on arrival. very disappointed and it seems through reviews im not the only one with this problem.
Overall Review: do not buy this card. Theres so many other options. Asus has gone down in quality big time.
nice drive

Pros: tho i generally dont like sata because connectors can easily become loose, this drive seems to have a nice tight trouble free fit. avg noise for a dvd rom
Cons: nice if these things came with screws...
Overall Review: i really dont wanna work tomorrow
nice processor

Pros: the thing flies and stays cool with stock heatsink and fan
Cons: it wasnt free?
decent board

Pros: installed easily, booted right up without issue. fast enough for regular use in XP
Cons: power connector too close to IDE port. driver cd requires 5 reboots.
Overall Review: a good deal overall. balanced price/performance ratio.
works as expected

Pros: works great right out of the box
Cons: none at all
Overall Review: somehow ups got it from california to my front door in ny in 1 day. Astonishing.
