Cons: none

Most Critical Review

May have to wait for SP1

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit 1-Pack for System Builders
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit 1-Pack for System Builders

Pros: It looks good

Cons: What is going on with the WMP 12?!!? It is the worst thing yet! I have been downloading my CD library,(quite large), and I just checked it and found that it has not recorded the first track of any of my CDs. Not to mention the fact that it would constantly "not respond" at various times and lock up the whole system. I just finished re-installing the W7 OS to see if that would help. So far, no good. YIKES! Just how does Microsoft test these new operating systems? The one egg I gave it is for Newegg shipping it quickly.

Overall Review: This is a major drag!!!!!

MSI sent me a new board

MSI 785GT-E63 AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 785G HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: I've had a couple of previous posts on this board. The last one was on 2/16 and I was not happy after the board failed. MSI sent me a replacement board with no questions asked. I sent the bad board back and the new one arrived exactly two weeks later. They've made me a happy customer. Fair is fair...they deserve this five egg rating just for taking care of the problem so quickly.

Cons: None

Overall Review: This is a great board for the money.

IT STOPPED WORKING AFTER 2 MONTHS!!!!

MSI 785GT-E63 AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 785G HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
MSI 785GT-E63 AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 785G HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: See review from 12/8/10

Cons: It stopped working. Won't post. No video from any output. Tried a video card in PCI-E slot...nothing. NOT HAPPY!

Overall Review: This is extra frustrating because this was installed in a build for a client that is 250 miles away. I ran the computer for two weeks before I shipped it. It worked for another six weeks and then died. This was my first MSI motherboard. Probably my last! C'mon MSI...you can do better than this!

Good solid case

Antec Three Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Used it to replace a cheap HP case from about four years ago. This is a good case for the money. I've never been disappointed with Antec cases. This is the first time I bought this one. I would definitely use it again. There is a lot of room to work.

Cons: None.

Nice board

MSI 785GT-E63 AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 785G HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: This is the first time I used an MSI board in a build. So far, it's been great! The build is just for normal usage, so I'm just running it at the factory settings. I liked what I saw and will definitely use it again in the future. I may even change one of mine to this.

Cons: Should have come with a few more SATA cables, but still a great deal for the price.
