Don't be fooled by the size
Pros: They fit in the CN Storm cases; even the biggest models. Same with the normal screws. Honestly, just to anyone looks at these. Buy these screws if you're putting in a new mother board or case. It's well worth not needing them, then needing them when you get the case.
Cons: I didn't really have any, they're screws they really only have one purpose to hold. So until they break, I guess this review will stay biased.
DOA
Pros: Package very neatly, nothing was missing! That's the only thing, I did like the design, that shows which specific part is failing. However, it could be faulty? Depending on the board and its issues.
Cons: DOA, CPU&Ram were both dead on arrival. Didn't find out until later, doesn't resister ram after its been seeded. Tried three different Channel's Solo,Duo & Quad still however doesn't acknowledge that ram is seeded. All RAM was in working computer's previously and is compatible. CPU, possibly mine was bad; however the motherboard on arrival had BENT PINS. I tried to straighten them out mistakenly. I work on this for 4 hours before all pins were straight to find out it still wouldn't work. Which was my fault to even bother to begin with. I passed the 30 day mark trying to test other cpu's and other parts. If you have any issues with the board. RMA it instantly. Don't do what I did, I called several times to ASUS and they redirected me to follow those steps as I passed the thirty day mark. Dealing with ASUS customer service would be the comparison of pulling teeth. Try to ignore dealing with ASUS as long as possible, usually they're very good but with this motherboard i've had nothing but trouble, as they didn't trust I was telling the truth, and wanted me to repeat everything that was done previously over again.
Overall Review: Any problems with your Mobo at all Please contact Newegg first, they're the people to go to. Asus will make your life hell.
Don't buy Windows 8
Pros: of course windows 7 is going to have some problems but 64 bit supports more RAM then 32, as well as usually runs at a higher rate of efficiency. Honestly I just like windows 7,64 bit cause it's not as clunky and it was personally made for the computer and not a tablet.
Cons: Slower then windows 8 - Only difference and not by much. No noticeable difference for my computer. For some yes, but for a high end computer like the one I created this isn't really an issue.
Good Case
Pros: Amazing ventilation, A lot of space overall. Will run cool no doubt in my mind. Has a decent amount of ports. Good for any motherboard supporting 3.0 USB Overall a pretty good case, especially for someone that's going to change out parts continuously. Throughout the caselife.
Cons: I love the case but, for some reason... it didn't come with motherboard screws, just simply mounting screws I only found one in my case. No screws for the one that I found in the case either. Either really bad luck or doesn't come with screws in general, but I find it hard to believe that a $150 case wouldn't come with mounting screws.
Overall Review: Overall, I would get this case. Fair warning buy a bag of screws from newegg with this. Just to make sure you don't get unlucky over and have to wait to make the computer.
