Pros: I got these speakers to replace one of my surrounds that busted during a move for my 5.1 setup. They are a subtle yet noticeable upgrade to the ones I got years ago packaged with a receiver.

Cons: No mounting points to hold them to a wall, but they are bookshelf speakers so that's a little expected. Can't really fault the good people at pioneer for that.

Overall Review: Make sure you have a good place to put them if you get these. I typically mount my speakers a little above ear level but with no mounting points and my landlord not letting me put nails in the wall I have to sit these on the floor until I move.

Pros: If the board is functioning it is a nice performer.

Cons: I have had this board for 8 months, and it has died twice. The first time I RMA'ed it and while prepping the shipment I damaged the CPU pins, and had to pay for repairs... nothings perfect, it died but I damaged it on the way in.. no harm no foul there. Two months later I rebooted my machine and it won't post. Through trouble shooting I deduce that memory channel "A" is bad and sent the board in for another RMA.. two weeks later same broken board is returned to me with the same problem. When I called tech support I was told they certified it working and since I didn't listen for beep codes it was a waste of my money to ship it. To date I have replace or removed all parts except for the motherboard and it has the same issue, but their RMA department just wasted my time and money by shipping it back and forth.

Overall Review: I've used asus MBs since the 90s when I got a 440bx board and have loved them enough to support them through other devices such as phones, network gear, tablets and video cards. But treating me like an idiot and proving awful customer service means I can't support them anymore.

Pros: I got a pair of these to backup my media server during a reformat; they were fast enough for the task and did the job.

Cons: none

Pros: I set up a windows storage space with 4 of these and ran it for about 2 years before one was flagged as dying by windows; replaced with another paid and expanded storage.

Cons: 1/4 was flagged as bad after a couple years but it is still working, just pulled all data off of it due to the flag.

Pros: Top of the line consumer processor when purchased so assumed it would be a performer; and it is. Fairly easily hit 4.7 and runs like a champ; using its integrated graphics for one screen and my 770 for games.

Cons: Price but that is to be expected.

Pros: These guys move a fair amount of air; even through my modified heatercore I use as a radiator.

Cons: A little loud. Not really a con, they come with controllers so its adjustable if you want to. I dropped 5 in my case and while its noticeable when going full out its not overbearing.
