Pros: Nice black anodized aluminum heat spreader

Cons: Doesn't make me coffee

Overall Review: memtest86+ reports no issues. Memory timings are wrong on the package, should be 5-5-5-12, not 5-5-5-15. Thanks Patriot for all the excellent products and customer service. Patriot customer for life!

Pros: SATA 2.0 spec Good for cheapskates, like myself!

Cons: Angle doesn't really save much space when compared to other straight cables because the angle plug is really large. No locking mechanism.

Overall Review: Like other reviewers have stated, the angle plug is equivalent to a straight cable that's bent 90 degrees. Personally I've had really bad luck with SATA cables. I think I'm going to start spending a little more for these things, because it seems like there's quality issues with less expensive wires.

Pros: Price and value. Low power consumption. Fully compatible with NAS4Free and FreeBSD 9.1

Cons: Realtek 8111E Onboard NIC recently failed. It refuses to maintain a connection to the switch. When the connection is restored, it dies as soon as I try to access the computer.

Overall Review: This is an update to my 5-star feedback post. I use this build as a home server running NAS4Free 9.1.0.1 Sandstorm. It's on 24/7, and I haven't turned it off for more than a few hours at a time for the last 15 months. Given the continuously ON nature of the machine, and the price of the motherboard, having the NIC fail at this time is acceptable. Nothing lasts forever, right? Only thing is, the Dell GX150 this thing replaced never failed at anything. I guess they don't build them like they used to. I ordered a replacement Realtek 8111B Rosewill PCI-Express NIC for the repair.

Pros: Power supply is TFX size, not SFX as I stated in my original review.

Cons: No cons here.

Pros: Gigabit Legacy PCI compatible

Cons: Doesn't pay for my flying (I'm a plane nut)

Overall Review: Even though my gigabit network maxes out at 19MB/sec (that's megabytes), it's still faster than my old 100mbit network I had before. Good, cheap, easy upgrade, and works with FreeNAS (FreeBSD)! I run a Linux network at home, and this is my NAS box, running 24/7.

Pros: Plug and play Linux Allows you to use CPUs with a TDP greater than the 65W recommended spec Tiny ITX form factor!

Cons: Gets hot with improper ventilation, but this isn't really a con on the board itself. No HDMI out, so you need a separate cable for audio.

Overall Review: Because the board has no on-board cooling, this needs a case with good ventilation. I built this with a Lian Li PC-Q07 case and it didn't work as well as I wanted it to. Read my review on the case for more details. The WiFi card sits right on top of the NB heatsink. I didn't use the WiFi card, but I'm concerned that if I did, it may have heat issues. Works with Ubuntu Linux Karmic Koala 9.10 with TwinView (Nvidia 8200). No HDMI.
