Pros: Works fine.

Cons: A bit noisy when loading data disk (windows) but that's common with all players

Overall Review: Giving it a 5 stars just to make myself feel better. This product is too simple

Pros: Easy to install

Cons: My TV does not recognize the onboard intel graphics as 1080p when running at 1920/1080 @ 60 Hz. Got a feeling that the output is running as VGA only. Cannot get really black level which is easily achieved by going 1920/1080 30Hz interlaced. Not sure if this a intel HD graphics issue or the motherboard. Will change my rating to 5 if not MBs fault, otherwise will return MB

Pros: Cheap, great looking, slim, easy to use

Cons: A bit tight inside. A metal support sheet sticking under from 5'25 drive is blocking one RAM slot on my MB and I cannot put my high-profile RAM in there

Pros: Excellent processor, fast, I am not over-clocking but its a nice to have feature just in case

Cons: Strictly from economical point of view, not too much of value add from i3-530 for HTPC system. But overpay is not that significant and you do get extra power and iGPU speed.

Overall Review: This was upgrade from AMD XP so I can tell the difference in speed.
