Pros: Excellent mobo that runs VMware ESXi 4.0.0 build 219382 which was what I was looking for. When installing & running ESXi, I had to install 4 sticks of memory to get past a fatal error message during install - "The BIOS reports that NUMA node 1 has no memory." I agree with the earlier reviewer that you need a PS with dual 8 pin EPS plugs. Currently have 5 VM running combo of win & linux 64bit OS's - planning several more including testing of a 3 node Oracle RAC RDBMS setup. Not a single glitch yet (have to find so wood to knock on).

Cons: None yet!

Pros: I've got two of these "bad boys" now and I will probably continue to buy them. Tons of room inside and plenty of cooling. The inexpensive hot-swap cages are also highly recommended (see my most recent server specs below.

Cons: None!

Cons: None so far.

Pros: Excellent quality and speed. A great step up from my HP Officejet G95 AIO.

Cons: The printer was jamming consistently when printing in duplex mode. Determined that there was a snap-on guide on the duplexer that was restricting the paper path. Removed the part from the duplexer and haven't had a jam in over 250 duplex pages.
