GREAT MOBO
Pros: 1) GREAT motherboard for its price. 2) It allows intel rapid storage technologies and RAIDs. 3) It allows overclocking (intel sandy K series). 4) The BIOS is legit, it is so colorful and unique. (UEFI, it is a new kind of BIOS interface) 5) Great quality product.
Cons: NONE
Overall Review: Great product, a lot cheaper than other motherboards on the market (consider its features).
It works like a charm!!
Pros: It works and it's semi-cheap.
Cons: NONE.
Overall Review: Shipping is fast.
I like this case
Pros: 1) The case is very well designed (exterior). 2) The product is SOLID. 3) Fits all the stuff you need to build a beyond decent computer. 4) Floppy drive can be used to fit a mini memory card reader.
Cons: 1) Missing screws for CPU. 2) The manual fails to explain all the details you need to know about how to build this thing correctly. It is a little hard for first time builders. 3) According to product's manual, it has 3 adjustable speeds for the 120mm fan. Yet, I don't feel or see the difference between LOW and HIGH fan speed or whatsoever. (Maybe I didn't connect the wire correctly, yet the manual fails to explain things in details). 4) HD socket sits right behind power supply unit, which is very annoying since the wires are all constrained/cramped together. So I had to mount the drivers in a weird way (pushed it a little backwards), then I can fit the SATA and PSU cables...
Overall Review: Shipping is a little ridiculous, though the original price is acceptable. I used to own a Dell inspiron for roughly 5 years, so this is my first time building a PC. I would say the overall experience is great and satisfying. Now I can easily overclock my i5 (sandy bridge) 2500K CPU on my ASRock motherboard (H67M-GE) with 8 gigs of DDR3 1600 RAM.
