Nice
Pros: OK, Hve had this for several months, though only got it built-out a month ago. Very nice all-in-one type of mini-itx. Running a C2 2.5Ghz on it, not overclocked. Running Windows Server 2008 R2, and its about as fast as my E6750 2.6Ghz system on an Abit IP-35e.
Cons: GPU does run hot, mine came with one of the plastic pushpins on the gpu sink stripped. Replaced with a nylon washer from HD, and its solid, though still rather warm. I've had a couple of issues with it locking out at either screen saver start, or something. I can hear it sound the 'ta da' wav when I try to Ctrl-Alt-Del back in, however blank screen saver window stays up. Not sure if this is an OS issue, or the gpu maybe getting too warm. Consider getting a decent active cooling gpu fan, or a cpu fan that will blow a little air to the side onto the gpu sink.
Overall Review: This was one of the Rev. 0 boards, so hopefully many of the minor issues are resolved. I believe wake on USB has been solved in the latest BIOS, even though it does not say so in the change notes. I bought this for use as an HTPC/browsing box for the living room. Hoping it will play some light games like L4D. Of course, the x16 PCI slot will take cheap 4850 if need be.
Nice
Pros: Works, fan control, helps OC my C2 2.6 to 3.6 at ~50c under load
Cons: It is a little large, however if you have a lot of drives it is what you want anyways. A few too many LED's for my taste.
Overall Review: Have had no problems with this in the past year. You may want to wait until Black Friday and see if they go on sale again. I think $250 is a better, fairer price. Remeber, you are getting an Aluminum case, decent PSU, the block and radiator are decent as well. You also get a plxiglass window along with a metal screen type one.
Wait for the gold!
Pros: I have the current 8GB, its been on my keyring for the past year+. No problems, corruption. I am waiting for the Gold one, as they had for the 4GB I believe. Its on Super's website, just need NewEgg to stock it.
Cons: Newegg only carries the silver coler
