Great ITX Board, but Don't Forget a Step!
Overall Review: Well-designed ITX board, I'm always amazed by how efficiently they fit everything together on so little real estate. As with all ITX builds, make sure you remember all your plugs before putting the big components in like CPU heatsink! I forget to plug in the RGB connector, was too stubborn to take the heatsink off, and spent half an hour using tweezers and a chopstick trying to get the plug where my fingers could no longer fit. Not a criticism of the board, this is how ITX builds are, just a reminder for anyone putting it together.
Buyer Beware
Pros: Cheap, satisfactory (barely) with the right hardware.
Cons: Extremely restrictive list of CPUs that the mobo functions with, limited to a handful of companies. http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_cpu_support.php
Overall Review: Browse the MSI website VERY carefully to make sure that other parts are compatible.
