Pros: I have had this board for over a month now. So far I love it. I paired this up with a a10-5800k APU and some crucial1866 ram. Built in bluetooth and wifi work great. I am able to use my ps3 controllers with games through the bluetooth and I get solid data transfer rates through wifi. Wifi works without the little antenna accessory with minimal impact on range. The bluetooth range seemed limited, but that could have been my old beat up ps3 controller too. Nice overclocking options, and nice OC fail recovery settings. A failed OC will revert back to last known good settings after a set number of failed boot ups. Audio through HDMI and the component output work great with my tv and stereo. MSI liveupdate works well to update drivers, but it does also include some bloatware. It does not work for BIOS update at this time, but I didn't need a BIOS update for my setup. It does update all the essential mobo drivers like audio and wifi, so that is nice. I just manually install the updates I want and ignore the bloatware I don't need.

Cons: It gets hot when booted into the Bios; there is a problem with the heat management. Its as if the PWM for the fans doesn't kick in until the OS boots. The clickbios program is great though, and allows updates to any BIOS settings when running windows. I dont trust the Supercharger program and uninstalled it. It kept trying to supercharge my external HD and mouse, but it did work as advertised for charging my phone.

Overall Review: I put this into the Lian Li qc09f case and it makes a great little package. A gaming capable HTPC with built in goodies is the way of the future and this board is leading the charge for AMD's fm2 APU's. I did not buy this board from newegg. It has been hard to get and after monitoring several different sites for a few weeks I was able to get one. This board was routinely selling out within hours of being available and I am very happy I waited rather than going with something else.

Pros: Once I got it setup it works great.

Cons: Terrible firmware. See other thoughts.

Overall Review: I got this to use as a Dumb AP for my network. I thought this would be a fire and forget type of deal. I changed the SSID, setup the passworkd/security, disabled DHCP and plugged it into my router. It worked, but not well at all. My unit came with the most recent firmware, and out of the box it was terrible. Dropped connections and instability galore. I was on the verge of doing an RMA but decided to try out one more trick. I ended up flashing the firmware with OpenWRT and now it works great. If it worked this well out of the box I would have given it 5 stars. I had a TP-Link router I bought years ago and thought it still works flawlessly, so I decided on this model for my new setup. IDK what is going on with the software side, but they really need to fix whatever the problem is. This unit is pretty basic and it has been on the market for years. The fact that it doesnt perform its advertised functionality is a terrible oversight.

Pros: I love this board. It works great in my home server and has been reliable for several months of uptime now. The build in Female USB slot on the motherboard is great for people that want to run an OS/Hypervisor off a bootable USB stick. Supports 3TB HDD. IOMMU passthrough works great with ESXi. I have been able to pass through several PCIe nics, and a M1015 Serveraid card. Onboard Nics each came with their own PCIe channel. Bios is basic and easy to work with. The heat alarm and automatic shutdown function great. I mismounted my CPU cooler originally and was pleasantly surprised to hear the alarm go off. Its good to know that if something goes wrong in the future this will shutdown before serious damage occurs. I also love the range of available CPUs that work with this board. Newegg doesnt have a huge selection but the market is full of used C32 chips at very affordable prices.

Cons: Onboard RAID chip is software based RAID. It works fine if you are just putting something like Ubuntu on the machine, but ESXi will not recognize the array and will see each drive individually. Successfully passedthrough a PCI wireless NIC to different VM's. Although PCI passthrough worked, I wouldnt recommend it, and I stopped using it because the PCI slot shares a channel with the onboard VGA. Not a big deal for me though. I just put in a PCI ethernet nic and use that for my ESXi management interface. PCIe passthrough works great. Northbridge runs hot. I installed an aftermarket Enzotech NB cooler that I got on newegg and it works well. Some of the cheap heat tape on the stock cooler was stuck on the NB chip and wouldnt come off. I gently removed what I could and used some artic silver with the new piece and it works well.

Overall Review: I bought this board used from someone who was upgrading their equipment and am happy with my purchase. I would recommend this board for anyone looking at a budget priced server. I am running using a 4171 HE CPU, and 8GB of Unbuff ECC RAM. Currently running ESXi 5.1u1 with a pfsense VM as my router, and Ubuntu 12.04 Server running PLEX for my media. Side VM's for testing include a LAMP server with Joomla, and several desktop OS's. My lack of RAM prevents me from running as many VM's as I would like. All in all a great little box to serve my home needs, and test new stuff.

Pros: Overall this case is great. I also have an R4 by the same company and the high quality of both products impresses me. I use it for my home server, and it is dead silent with stock CPU cooler and 4 total case fans going. It sits in the living room in the corner and is great.

Cons: Rear fan clicks when case is on uneven ground. I have it on a carpeted floor which is not perfectly level. The case warps a little bit from the uneven weight distribution and causes the blades to hit the plastic mounding bracket. I shoved a shim under the one side and its fine now.

Overall Review: I imagine this case will last me for over a decade. In 5 years when I upgrade my media server I can see reusing this case. Its so big that it makes it seem future proof.

Pros: I waited a month to write this review. The drive works well in my media server and I have no complaints. If anything changes Ill post an updated review.

Cons: none so far

Overall Review: Im very paranoid of these large drives failing. Hopefully my fears are unfounded.

Pros: Works well so far. The cables are a great length. I used this in a Fractal Design R4 ATX case and everything connected just fine. The R4 case is a monster, and if they had enough length for that then it should work in 99% of cases on the market.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Ill update with another review if I run into problems. Currently they are showing this as out of stock, and I hope they get more. I would definitely consider buying these again for future builds.
