Pros: -Highspeed 7200rpm drive -Small form-factor

Cons: -None that I'm aware of

Overall Review: If you need space, you just can't beat the value a HDD gives you

Pros: Cheap mobo with usb 3.0 and sata 3

Cons: 6 months after purchase the audio controller stopped working. Thought it was software related and just used a usb adapter for audio. More recently discovered that it was in fact the mobo that wasn't working. Then I started having HDD controller errors pop up and random BSOD's for no good reason. Wiped windows several times and tried different formatting options to no avail. Looked into getting the board replaced but I was 30 days past warranty. Warrantied the SDD I had purchased from Intel hoping it was the drive. Still have the same errors pop up. And to top it all off I am now experiencing intermittent usb issues. Can hardly use the thing because only 2 usb ports continuously handle traffic(the ones connected with to the motherboard from the case). The rest of the ports randomly will disconnect the device and reconnect it. Doesn't matter what's connected.

Overall Review: I thought I'd give ASRock a chance but it seems I made a bad choice. I can deal with audio issues but really wish the hard drive controller and usb issues would have happened when I was still in warranty like the audio did.

Pros: Bright screen. Fast refresh rate. Multiple inputs. Easy to navigate menu.

Cons: Super bright monitor. Almost like looking into a projector bright. Colors are difficult to calibrate correctly(harder than I thought to determine what's right vs wrong).

Pros: Performs well and has a slight overclock potential. The fans are key: they are quiet and efficient. Great bang for your buck, a huge step up from a 4890.

Cons: Unfortunately this card is manufactured using an antillies chip. This removes the possibility to unlock the additional shaders that existed on the cayman chipset 6950. Forcing a flash of the vga bios will simply brick the card for most of you.

Overall Review: Might as well spend a few dollars more and buy the more expensive Sapphire card or another 2gb reference series card.
