Most Favorable Review

Great Board so far

BIOSTAR TA990FXE AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
BIOSTAR TA990FXE AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: It works, no horror story here yet. Overclocks easily.

Cons: Nit picky at best but here goes... 1. red internal LEDs 2. Had to set RAM in BIOS to proper speed, 1866 RAM was being clocked at 1333 initially.

Overall Review: Had this board for 3 months and no issues. Hadn't built a PC in about 12 years, everything went smoothly though. Would recommend this board.

Most Critical Review

Worked great for 1 year, 1 month, 16 days

Pros: TONS of ports and they ALL worked until... (see cons)

Cons: As the title says it worked great until 1 year, 1 month, 16 days at which point ALL the USB 2.0 ports stopped functioning the USB 3.0 ports still work though which I find a little odd. Gave a three star for the lack of longevity, would have been 5 stars if it had lasted.

Overall Review: REALLY wish it would have lasted long this hub was AWESOME while it lasted.

Very Impressed so far!

Pros: -VERY solid construction - Seriously VERY little flex in any section -Haven't ran into any sharp edges yet -Love the mounting mechanism for the front 2 x 120 mm fans. Haven't tested them yet so can't say if they are loud or not yet but they will be easy to swap out if they are loud. -They top has a 2 button approach to remove it. It also has 4 tiny screws that insert on the sides but they are not needed, making getting inside your build a lot less hassle if you tend to swap out components a lot.

Cons: - ONLY con so far is wish the 3.5'' was situated so it would face the back end of the case. As it is situated it requires the removal of at least the closet front 120 mm fan to add or remove either of the 3.5'' drives.

Overall Review: -Has nothing to do with the case, but Newegg Customer Service once again is stellar!! Had a shipping issue ,paid for 1 day shipping (NOT cheap lol) and it didn't arrive until the day after it was guaranteed to arrive, and had NO issue with getting my shipping refunded.

Maybe just mine...

Pros: Looks nice and worked well until...

Cons: ...the SATA connection broke off inside the cable. Very little pressure while connecting this drive but the male end on the drive snapped off so not only is the drive ruined the cable is as well since I can't get the piece out of the cable...

Overall Review: It may have just been mine since I have another LG BD drive that has worked wonderfully for almost 3 years now

Worked great...until it fried my HDD

Pros: Nice solid construction, fast USB 3.0 speeds

Cons: As the title says, after about 2 weeks Windows 7 wouldn't recognize it. Took it apart and a very strong burned electronics smell greeted me.

Overall Review: As with any electronics device you always run the risk of failure or damage, just sucks I lost a 500 GB hard drive on this one : / Also, I have tried the affected hard drive in 2 other docks, drive will spin up but won't mount.
