Pros: 150W worried me at first, but with an i3 2125 and a 6670 running through all stress tests I'm sure that this is sufficient for any user looking to build in this case. Included fans are fine, including the PSU fan. Neither got loud, but were audible at full load or on "H" setting for the chassis. Smallest case out there that still offers needed features. You can only get smaller by building an Atom-based rig. You can game very well in this thing and have very clean wiring.

Cons: The chassis fan has a switch instead of a 4-pin PWM unit which any quality board could better manage automatically w/o manual input. The expansion slot hinge is goofy, but tolerable. It's low-pro obviously, so GT430/HD 6670 is the best you can stuff in there. The PSU is constantly under 80% efficiency with any payload I can think of. Even with just on-die video and light loads it's at 74%; which means work is being turned into heat. A better 80+ PSU for an iTX is critical and Antec should know better. But at 150W, we're not talking about huge losses really...it's a computer that is equivalent to a common light bulb. Amazing :D The optical cover is chincy and can break easily. It looks the same without it, so I wonder why it's even there. I haven't broke mine, see that others have, but a couple taps of the pins has that cover off. Actually works better for when you burn DVD's and they automatically eject on completion (the door stops ejections, and why it's a con).

Overall Review: I swapped out the chassis fan for a NB-Multiframe M8-S3 and let the board control the speed. Dead silent all the time and stays cool. There's a spot for adding another 80mm fan, but it's rare to find an iTX board with more than one CHS header. John: there's 2 screws awaiting in the drive bay and 2 spares in the bag. The SN-208BB has 8 screw holes to pick from and 2 will surely match up; if not all 4. JoeW: The eSATA cable reaches the back of the case and can be routed to a S/ATA connector just fine. The power cable is fine as you do nothing with it. It just runs to the PSU which doesn't get in the way of anything on any iTX board out there. Plan for iTX better; Bozo? It also doesn't flex one bit. It's made of good steel.

Pros: We got a cold snap, and it helped stoke the fireplace...Even with coffee grinds all over it.

Cons: Tripe or drivle...I'm not sure which it is. Isn't the story already known? I don't care to find out. Warcraft fans probably already have it, non warcraft fans don't want it. It sat in my trashcan since I got it. I had to empty the trash early just to keep the Orc from staring at me all the time. When it got cold, I knew right where to find it.

Overall Review: For buying an i7 and including a $7 book that no one reads isn't a perk and can be looked at as a drawback. I removed it at checkout, and it still arrived. I would just think that a better gift for a buyer would be a more temping offer. Something that said "exclusive". Like an Intel branded 1G thumbdrive, or one of those bunny suit plush dolls they sell. They're cheap enough. A gift no one wants isn't a gift ;)

Pros: The drive arrived and was sealed as all WD drives have been in the past. All appears to be a standard brand new drive. Got it on time and withing the 8 days expected, so the "Industry-leading 5-year limited warranty" would be great since I have roughly 3 weeks to get it fired up.

Cons: Never spun up from day one. On all ports on several computers, it would try to spin up about 5 times then just sit there staring back at me. Didn't matter if it were through USB dongles or directly to any of the open 28 S/ATA ports available on the other very much working computers. Can not initialize drive: Cyclic Redundancy Error. Using all the tools I have, it does appear to be a new drive with just some writes here and there that I assume were from testing prior to leaving the factory but other than that Windows XP, Win7, nor any of the Win10 machines can initialize the drive due to the CRE's. I attempted to get this drive working for too long in my spare time so I went over the 30-day standard return policy. I went WD to register the drive prepping for a support ticket, and that's when I joined the others here in the reviews: OEM drive/No warranty, contact your vendor for support.

Overall Review: I would recommend this drive very much if you get one that worked and isn't OEM according to the S/N the drive is stamped with forever. I've never had a WD drive fail on me that wasn't my own doing, and that was one 3rd gen 150G Raptor from my ham-fisted overclocking about 20 years ago (2006). I will continue with the online support and feel I'll eventually have to contact WD support via the phone eventually. I'd like one of those fancy "Manufacturer Response" replies and one that is specific to where this magical "Contact us" page is so that I too can have a "good overall user experience". I'd really enjoy that 5-year warranty!

Pros: zero read error counts, Reallocated Sectors Count, and everything else looks like a new drive outside of the power on time. I bought two for RAID1 knowing their may be some question about long term reliability and am thinking about getting a couple more. I don't hear the noise in either of the drives other reviewers are noting. Looks like they've just been spinning in a server and were pulled as the warranty was near expiring or that company chose 25,000hrs as a time to aim for replacing their drives. I'm buying a couple more!

Cons: None

Overall Review: Shows 989.0 days (23,736hrs) of Power On Time but only 28 Power On Count. Runs 36C which is typical of these when new. Purchased 11/22/2016, installed that following weekend, and I trust this set enough to start tossing data onto it that I'd rather not lose locally on this PC. I still move that data up to the home server that is stuffed with 7K6000's if it's something I absolutely don't want to risk losing. It's just a good idea when buying used drives.

Pros: 4 eggs for my usage and environment. I built this rig for the man cave down in a horse stable I've built out. It gets very hot and very cold. The build is just not in a happy environment, yet I knew I needed an SSD. "Intel 730 without a doubt", came up as a shell shocker, sold. It's a very reliable drive, will withstand these elements, and I just trust it fully.

Cons: 3 eggs, max, for other purchaser's usage, environment, and hopes for the true SSD experience. It's just kinda slow for an SSD with only the warm fuzzy feeling that it's industrial strength. Skulls. It's white trash. Might as well put a pic of Kid Rock sitting on a Huyabusa in front of a mobile home in it's place. Skulls, flames, blinking lights...a builder needs none of this. Thankfully they go in brackets to never be seen again; Even if you have a window. (who displays that they have an SSD now days? We all do. They're $50. I wouldn't put this on display on any build). It's the semi-pretty girlfriend. Not the best, don't have to work hard to get her, won't nag and bother you all the time, no maintenance required, and will never cheat on you.

Overall Review: I'm with the prior comment Timothy K. made on this purchase and review. I'm an all SSD user for all boot drives on every build and have been since they came out over 10 years ago now. Loved the snappiness of SSD's and haggled a bit over switching from 5x74G raptors in R5 due to capacity issues early on. After paying out for 5x150G raptors and enjoying the growing tech in the SSD field I knew I had to get on board fully from that point on out. If you want performance, you just go to SSD with no questions asked; Deal with capacity and storage in another thought process. It's an SSD with good capacity, at a decent price, and Intel reliability. If it's your first SSD you won't be disappointed at all. If you're already well entrenched in SSD's and have used several before, you will be hugely disappointed by having very average speeds compared to others out there. Probably why it's on sale a lot here. This is officially my 27th SSD and there's just a lot left on the table when I know Intel can do better. Also, none of them have ever failed so I question whether I, or anyone else, should really chose reliability over speed any more. I back up constantly, I don't run enterprise servers, and no drives have failed. I don't discourage this SSD as a purchase but I would look around for something more snappy with more actual performance. Still running Mushkin, OCZ, Samsung, Crucial, and Intel of many variations. This was the first that really let me down since we're deep into the SSD evolution and is just ho-hum.

Pros: Very little. Once it's up, it's a good little board. It just becomes a minor hassle with the cons. Might soon be framed into Geek artwork to hang on the wall...of shame.

Cons: The fix I had, and may have said already prior, is to leave the CMOS battery out. Set up the BIOS the way you want it then save that setup in the OC profiles. If you ever shut this down you have to turn off power, ensure the LED on the board goes out, turn power back on, boot into the BIOS, restore saved BIOS, save and reboot, then update time time and date in the OS (or web certs won't be allowed). If you don't do all of this you can wear out the power button on your computer because it does absolutely nothing. It's not a dead board, just an inherent problem with this model in which no BIOS update nor CMOS battery could fix.

Overall Review: Sorry, it's really hit or miss. You got one that works and you got lucky. The reviews are legitimate as you don't see this level of bad reviews on many other Asus boards. I've got a picture and a video holding it to prove I have it. If you want a video of me pushing the button for 24hrs, I guess I could do that too. Or one where I just push it 5 times, doesn't even budge, then go through this process and it boots and POSTS, that'd be easier ;) It's discontinued so it's not a major concern anymore, but many people come here to view the reviews for refurbs or external sales. This is not a board to trust.
