Pros: Great price, SATA model, extra face for white or black, I've burnt about 100 DVDs and CDs with it and had no problems related to the burner. Its fast and seems to still run cool and quiet...its dead silent.
Cons: Does not come with SATA cable or molex for adapting to regular ATX power connector so if you don't have one you'll want to order one.
Overall Review: Have had experience with Lite On before and they have gained my trust 100%.
GRRRRRR

Pros: Cools good. Price.
Cons: I've owned 2 of these boards and both have crapped out within just a few weeks. I gave up on getting either of them fixed by MSI because customer support is too hard, I'd rather just pay the 100 bucks for a new board. Both of mine have peformed CMOS checksum errors from the start, the first one seemed to also have some disk controller problems. The 2nd one will not recognize all of my RAM....some of the time. It takes about 15 mins to get the computer on because of the errors and blank screens.
They work great!

Pros: They are cheap and come with free shipping. I haven't had any issues with them.
Cons: Nothing to mention.
Overall Review: I've burnt thousands of DVDs with many different burners and software over the years and these DVDs are as good as any I've used. I will continue to buy them. Coasters can have many causes but in my experience its usually not the disk to blame.
Good Stuff

Pros: Great RAM at a great price. Ships fast and cheap too. Thanks Newegg. I love the fact that it has heat spreaders and low cas latency. I've been running 1 gig of the stuff in my gaming/server/workstation rig for over a year and haven't had a problem with it, and I've ran the DOG out of it too. I have complete confidence in Corsair XMS2 memory.
Cons: None
Overall Review: The first time I bought some it was 135 bucks for 2 512s and the last time it was around 24 dollars. Outstanding price.
Junk

Pros: Well I guess its lightweight.
Cons: Difficult to get it to find an internet connection or communicate with another router or modem. Freezes very often since day 1, microwaves and such can interfere with it, freezes when configuring, wireless signal is very weak, antenna fells off when touched, Total junk, can't believe I used it for so long.
Overall Review: I'd get a netgear for sure. My brother gave this router to me when he replaced it with a netgear and the netgear is wonderful compared to this, fast, doesn't freeze, easy to configure, updates work, way more features for the same price.
