Pros: 12 SATA ports (8x SATA3). Supports 64GB ECC memory. Fits in a teeny tiny case. Runs all major OSs.

Cons: SUPER FINICKY about RAM! The vendor support site lists a dozen or so confirmed modules (both ECC and non), but of them, only a few are available in the US. The board will not initialize a display or POST at all without compatible memory, instead going straight to sleep mode. The IPMI will function regardless. The good news is that there are some working modules that are just not listed. I've tested 4 kinds of registered DIMMs - they don't work. I've tried unregistered non-ECC desktop RAM - it didn't work. I did find some 8GB ECC DDR3L 1600 that works perfectly though, and it's not listed on the website: 2x Crucial 8GB DDR3L 1600 (1.35v) CL11 Unbuffered ECC (CT102472BD160B) Anyone who gets this board to POST with RAM that isn't listed on ASRock's site should put a review here with the model # so that other US users can use this amazing little unit with RAM we can actually buy!

Overall Review: I'm using this board with 6x SATA3 drives storage, an Intel SSD for boot, and a blu ray drive; all SATA3 ports populated. Ubuntu 12.04.4 recognizes all the controllers and runs perfectly.

Pros: Perfect size and resolution for side-by-side landscape real estate. These monitors (I bought two at $150ea) are bright (not too bright as a previous reviewer suggested) and beautiful! The brightness and contrast is uniform across the entire display. Both of mine came with 0 dead pixels - I plugged one into a mini-HDMI to DVI-D converter and another into a displayport on my Intel NUC and they behaved completely as would be expected for dual digital displays. The stands allow pretty much any kind of orientation or adjustment you could want; the monitors themselves accept DP, DVI-D and VGA. The only thing I'd do differently is just to get rid of the speakers, and put in maybe a USB hub on each. No stars off for that. These are, by far, the best inexpensive monitors (and really, expensive ones don't offer much that these don't) I've ever purchased. If you can get them for under $200, buy them today. Suffice it to say that you will NOT be disappointed for the cash.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I would like to buy another half dozen of these and give them away as presents. They are amazing.

Pros: This is an awesome little machine! It's actually faster and more powerful than the mid-tower it replaced. Naturally it has no business being used for serious gaming (though I'm sure it's fine for plenty of emulation), but that should be obvious since it can't take a discreet graphics card. It installs and boots Windows 8.1 Enterprise x64 without any issues at all, and if you don't want to put it on the back of a TV, you can screw the VESA mount into your drywall or mount it anywhere you want.

Cons: Doesn't support any Windows Server version (2008, 2012) and Intel has stated explicitly on their website that they have no intention of releasing drivers for those operating systems. The Windows 8 drivers do NOT work for Server 2012... and this means you will not be getting any kind of wired or wireless networking to work. This would be an amazing home server platform if it supported a Windows Server OS; since it's limited to Windows 8.1 at best, it's only an OK home server platform. -1 star for this.

Pros: This case is pretty much exactly the right size for my needs (primarily a NAS). I know lots of folks prefer a specific competing brand and for good reason, but I do love Lian Li cases so I'm a bit biased by experience. The construction is abolutely top-notch, as I would expect from this vendor. Installation of components was simple (except for one...) and it's clear that this vendor hasn't failed at their reputation for attention to detail. I would buy this case again any day, if my project fit the form factor. Also, it's super light - shockingly so - yet solid / rigid / well built. This is a good thing, if you intend to pack it to the hilt with hard drives and don't care for that much more additional weight.

Cons: This one con is a big one. Without it, this is a 5-star case. The case states unequivocally that it supports standard ATX power supplies. Every review and rating I read, here and otherwise, makes no mention of any specific concerns, so it didn't even cross my mind (never having used this form factor before) that the the DEPTH of the PSU is of absolute concern. After my PSU arrived, I attached the case's mounting plate and slid it into this case... only to find that once fully inserted, the rear end (where the modular plugs should go) was absolutely flush with the drive cage (the middle one that supports 4 drives). If you only need the lower drive cage, this case will fit any ATX PSU. To be fair, you can still have 2x 3.5" drives in the lower cage, if you're not using a long PCIe card. If you're using NO drive cages (only the 2.5" mount at the bottom of the optical bay), you can use a full size PSU *AND* a big PCIe card. If you're using only the middle drive cage (and if you're using this case for a NAS application, you almost definitely are) then this case most definitely does NOT support "any ATX PSU." Pro tip: limit your PSU depth to 150mm MAX (modular or otherwise) if you want to have any hope of actually plugging anything into it while the middle drive cage is installed.

Overall Review: While not a "con" enough to drop a star, since I knew it going into it: there's no easy way to fast-swap disks in this case. You will need to remove the cage(s) to remove, replace, or install any drives. If you need hot-swap, this is not your case. If your application requires you to power down for drive replacements regardless, then this case is as good as any other.
