Your random reboot can by caused by aggressive BIOS settings, timing errors in your memory (which would not show up with Memtest), etc.

Pros: Cheap.
Cons: Flimsy front CD Drive bay panels. They will pretty much break if you try to mess with them at all. Not to mention they are ugly.
Pros: Lots of cool features.
Cons: Pain in the rear to get Ubuntu 8.04 to recognize the SATA drive. After hours of googling and failed attempts I found that you should add ""pci=nomsi"" to your kernel boot options to get linux to recognize the SATA drives. Worked like a charm!
Pros: Cheap and easy to setup a hackintosh VM on.
Cons: On my second board. Both randomly reboot. The RAM is good according to memtest. Will be exchanging this time around.
