Most Critical Review

usb and switch header conflict with bottom pcie slot

ASUS H87M-PRO LGA 1150 Intel H87 HDMI USB 3.0 uATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS H87M-PRO LGA 1150 Intel H87 HDMI USB 3.0 uATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Went together easily, provide little marked adapters to indicate where each pin for usb, and case pins for LED, switches, etc go. Recognized all devices fine, booted fine.

Cons: Placement of usb headers and case LED/switch headers at bottom of board right below the last PCIE expansion slot render this slot unusable. Since it's a uATX board already, losing this slot was bad news for me. Top PCIE slot was for my graphics card, which occupies the slot below it as well. The 3rd PCIE can't take a big card because it would block the graphics card fan. This would've been the case no matter what motherboard I had, so no big deal there, but I was counting on being able to use the 4th PCIE.

Overall Review: You could probably fit a shorter or slimmer card in the bottom slot, but my sound card with its metal shroud (sound blaster x-fi titanium fatal1ty) wasn't going to make it without dremeling out part of the shroud.
