Great board

Pros: Amazingly powerful video for an on-board solution. Quality components across the whole board.
Cons: As mentioned on another review, the sata port placement and orientation was poor, but it's not enough of a problem to remove an egg for. Read next section for more on this. Would be nice if it had an additional fan header or two.
Overall Review: I ordered a full size video card about 2 weeks after having this board. With this new card installed, you can barely fit two straight sata cables into the two bottom sata ports. The other three ports are covered up completely, but they are accessible if you use a 90 degree cable... ...However!! If you use a standard 90 degree "right angle" cable, you can only use ONE of these remaining ports because the remaining three all face each other in such a way that your first cable will make the remaining two inaccessible. You must order what some people are calling "left angle" sata cables where the slot is flipped on the end of a 90 degree cable. I got mine from satacables.com because Newegg doesn't carry them. To be fair, this board really wasn't intended as a high-end gaming platform, so no eggs removed. But why couldn't they have just turned those ports in the other direction?? Other than the sata thing, I'm extremely happy with this buy.
Critical Front Bezel Flaw

Pros: This case is easy to use, spacious, nicely laid out, and generally a great pleasure to work with. It also looks pretty good, especially for the price.
Cons: There is a design flaw with the front bezel on this case. It builds a static-electric differential that when grounded to the rest of the case by a nudge or bump, can cause a motherboard to think it has received a reset signal. In other words, you may experience unexplained reboots. I use high grade components in all of the machines I build. This case is the skimpiest thing I use, and I have seen this problem with an Asus and two different Gigabyte motherboards. I use Corsair power supplies.
Overall Review: I am really sad about this revelation, because I have recommended this case to many people, and built many computers around this case. I have been trying to figure out what is causing this issue for a long time, but have finally been able to "fix" it by leaving the bezel off of the computers experiencing the issue. Next I am going to attempt to figure out the best way to securely ground the entire bezel to the rest of the case. It is going to be a pain to do this because each mesh pane is mostly insulated by paint. The aluminum rails are independent from everything else, but do have a couple of very obvious potential grounding points (rivets) on the front of the case. Is the synthetic filter fabric picking up charge from the air, and dumping it to the aluminum rails? I don't know. All I do know is that, without exception, when the bezel is off, the problem is gone. I'm sad. :(
Excellent upgrade for any aging PC

Pros: -Samsung's Data Migration software makes upgrading an older computer easy and reliable
Cons: - It doesn't install itself
Overall Review: I've been using Samsung drives to give new life to older computers for over a decade. It is hands-down the best PC upgrade you can do for any machine that still uses a spinning hard drive. Customers are always impressed by how much better everything works. It's a very noticeable difference.
Slightly older features, but great case for the price

Pros: - Good Size (not gigantic, but still slightly on the large side) - Easy to work in - Decent looking for a personal case (wouldn't use these in a business setting) - Tray on top for quickly plugging in a bare SATA drive is a fantastic feature. Love this. - Black paint on back and inside is a nice touch - Front faceplate retention clips are metal rather than plastic
Cons: - Too many 3.5" bays, not enough 2.5 bays (only 1!) - Add-in card retention bracket does not hold cards in place (they each still need their own screw) - Holes tapped for motherboard standoffs are not cleanly made (you have to ream them out with the screw) - Cougar fan that comes with the case is a little noisy (I replaced it)
Overall Review: This case is showing its age with the single 2.5" mounting point, and the placement of it is clearly a complete afterthought. There could be some improvements if they want to do a refresh. I would do this: - Stop bending the baseplate to form cheap motherboard standoffs and use actual brass standoffs. - Put two of each type of USB2, and USB3.1 on the front panel, with one of them being 3.1 type c - Put a quality fan in the back and another one in the front - Replace three or four of the 3.5" bays with four 2.5" bays - Paint the faceplate glossy black instead of letting the black plastic speak for itself (it would look much better) Overall, I like this case, although it's not being used for my main system. Would buy again.
Do you know what 3FT means?

Pros: -It's a cable.
Cons: -Incorrect length -Too expensive ($4.00 postage)
Overall Review: Long cables can throw off the timing of the usb port. I specifically wanted a 3 foot cable, as advertised. The cable I received is 6 feet long, so it is not useful as the replacement for my existing 6 foot cable. $4.00 to ship a cable in an envelope through USPS? 3rd party ripoff. Don't buy this. Not worth sending it back, but I guess that was the whole point.
NO. Try Again Logitech.

Pros: All the awesomeness of the G15 that it succeeds. The headphone jack was a smart and useful addition. Variable colors are nice. Volume scroll is excellent. Software is great, and works with both this keyboard and the older G15 including accurate pictures of each and separate profiles for the different keyboards. Huge kudos for this.
Cons: The Keyboard itself is horrible. Easily the worst I have ever used. The keys hang if not pressed perfectly from above center. The longer keys are worse about this, and the space bar is completely abysmal. If you press the space bar on its ends it will not go down. I have to correct almost everything I type by going back and adding spaces where they got 'missed'. Also, when typing I frequently get double-taps where the letter will appear twice with one press. Just. Horrible.
Overall Review: My G15 still works brilliantly, although the blue backlight is hardly visible any more. Come on Logitech, a keyboard must always be a keyboard first. I would love this exact keyboard made with silent mechanical switches. I would pay $200 for that. I may mod this one to be that.
