No-more 2-handed wrestling with hub to plug something in!
Pros: Fast and stays out of the way, at edge of my desk.
Overall Review: Great as just a connection expander. (no extra power)
Good service despite product failure
Overall Review: The motherboard (aka "MB") arrived promptly and well-packed. It was clean and a visual inspection showed no damage other than a slight bend at one corner, away from the large ICs and rear connectors. Seeing this as no more than a cosmetic issue, I installed parts, connected the MB, and turned it on. Unfortunately, it overloaded the power supply and could not boot. After substituting parts and the power supply, it became clear that the MB was in need of repair. The vendor communicated on this issue without delay, and after determining that it was not user-induced, issued a refund. I suspect that one of the MB power converter stages had a cracked solder joint somewhere that allowed a MOSFET to stay on when it needed to be off, drawing excessive current from the 12V rail. I see this failure as a routine risk associated with used electronics and have no reason to doubt the vendor's claim that each MB they sell is tested. I would buy another MB from this vendor.
Quiet and cool, and not ugly. Shipped on-time. Yay!
Overall Review: Yes.
Not a seller intending to ever have repeat customers
Never shipped item. Instead, upon inquiry about shipping delay, sent shipping information to a shipper and claimed "shipped" to Newegg. If you want items ostensibly sold by this seller, order elsewhere.
