Pros: -Long Lasting, quality components for 24/7 usage -Z87 Chipset in a uATX Board(Key selling point for me) -Handles a wide range of memory speeds -1150 Socket for Intel Gen.4 Processors -Stable performance for a Higher-end Workstation -UEFI BIOS work well, layout makes sense. Lots of control. -x16 PCI 3.0 Slot for add-on graphics @ full performance

Cons: -not very many USB ports -Onboard sound is just okay -Price is a bit high.

Overall Review: To users about bloatware: When installing drivers and software, please make sure that you fully understand whether you really need the software or not. I never have bothered with using the AI Suite. I have been using Asus boards for a number of years and find that their reliability is unmatched.

Pros: -Asus Quality (Main selling point) -Reasonable Price and feature set -Performs Reliably in workstations -Memory compatibility up to 2200 -Has built-in sound -SATA 6.0 for newer HDD's. -Has HDMI built-in

Cons: -sound quality is not the best

Overall Review: Built 15+ workstations with this motherboard. Performs reliably, not have arrived DOA. All ports and features have been working. Machine easily accomplishes workstation tasks when paired with an i3-2120.

Pros: -Low cost OEM Drive -Perfect for workstations that don't need large drives -7200RPM for decent speed -SATA 6.0GB -90mb/s Write -94mb/s Read

Cons: -Cost in $/GB =$0.22

Pros: -Perfect Form Factor -Fits full size Graphics -300W Built-in PSU provides plenty of power for a variety of configurations -Cooling partition works perfectly for stock Intel coolers -fits 2 x3.5 HDD's, and a 5.25 CD/DVD/BD Drive -Lights on the front of the case and case itself are attractive. -Made from Solid Materials -Device is less likely to tip over than thin models due to full width

Cons: -Ventilation is not in excess -working with just one unit might be confusing due to lack of instructions -Top of the case can be difficult to get on

Overall Review: Used in 20+ Workstation configurations for the ease of assembly and small form factor associated with the device. These units do not seem to collect as much dust as the dell units that they replaced. Employees love that they have a much greater amount of leg room. It takes me approximately 40 minutes to complete a build in this case with having to unbox everything as I go. This is pretty quick and allows me to produce more units in less time.
