Great motherboard
Pros: This motherboard works great. Purchased for build with Intel Xeon E5520 CPU, Patriot 12GB PS312G13ER3K-E memory, and 250GB OCZ Collosus SSD . Solid performance for the setup.
Cons: None
Overall Review: People need to read the manuals and research the product before purchasing it; instead of whining about it after placing the order. Slow boot is expected for server motherboard, manual specifically stated no onboard sound, and same for FDD... RTFFM!!
very fast SSD
Pros: Very very fast!!
Cons: First one failed after two weeks. RMA'ed to Newegg. Second one is working fine so far...
Very good chassis
Pros: Solid case, sturdy, lots of space for hot-swap drives and future expansions. Plenty of fans and space for ventilation. Bought for build with ASUS Z8PE-D12X mobo and Intel Xeon E5520.
Cons: Included fans are a little loud, but controllable with mobo.
