Pros: Nice set up, very small, no old tech PS2 or VGA (of course you can buy an adapter). tons of USB and you can still add more from the MOBO, DDR2 800 up to 4GB, 4 SATAs, RAID support.Cons: this MOBO is hot, hot, hot!!! Make sure you have a good air circulation in the case. I looked at the temperature in the BIOS and it was worrisome: ICH at 80 C!!!Space is really tight but that is to be expected for a mini-itx.Other Thoughts:1- Drivers (for audio, LAN, and Video) are not out yet for Linux install.2- I have intel cpu E8500 on it, it works well but the heat sink would bend the MOBO. My advice is to get plastic or metal screws and make your own heat sink screws. Also, don't buy the retention bracket (the X form) to attach FHS underneath the MOBO, there is a chip in the way next to one of the hole.3- Here is what I have put together and works perfectly with VISTA 64bit: HD Scorpio WD1600BEKT 2.5", Memory G.Skill F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ - (2 X 2 Gb), 8x DVD DL/RW Sony NEC Optiarc Slim SATA Model, and PicoPSU-120 with 4pins (very important because the MB will not work without it) from mini box.

I planned to build a computer under the following conditions: (1) mini-ITX or smaller form factor, (2) Intel Core 2 duo or faster CPU, (3) legacy free IO (at least no VGA, no PS2, no FDD, no IDE, no parallel printer port), and this product was among the few that satisfied all these criteria.Upon using it, I found that there are so many defects, and most of them are already widely known as you can search on the internet. They are: (1) ICH (south bridge) becomes extremely hot. I read about this before buying, so I prepared a fanless heatsink, but that was of no use. Still, mine goes constantly abovce 100C. Probably, I will need to change the south bridge heatsink to a one that has a fan. (2) the coils keep making noise by vibration, especially when in idle. I read on the internet that this will improve after upgrading the BIOS, so I did it. True, it improved, but not completely. There is still annoying sound. (3) The BIOS was from more than a year ago (several versions ago). After updating, this is resolved, but as a sold product, they should have given me one with a newer BIOS on it and saved my several hours on attempt to upgrade. (4) the analog audio output has noise. I grounded all over the place, but did not improve much. (5) something strange with the CPU fan control algorithm on the BIOS, letting the Intel core 2 duo stock fan switch to high RPM at strange timing. I could not stand it, and I replaced the fan with Thermaltake MeOrb (16dBA), which fits fine on this board. (6) the arrangements are so tight that you have to remove the CPU fan in order to plugin the motherboard fan plug, and pico PSU cannot be fit as it hits the RAM. (7) the DVI port is a little crappy. After plugging in and out several times, the connector became loose a little bit.However, after knowing all these flaws, I still think this was the right choice as there are not many other boards that satisfy the conditions that I mentioned above, and this one looks the best choice for my purpose.

I bought this board to go with an e8600 dual core processor and to put in a iStarUSA S3 mini-ITX case.For having so many features crammed in such a small board the layout made it very easy to install and route all the cables. It worked flawlessly from the start, the BIOS update and driver setup all worked well. I did uninstall some of the packaged software Intel provided as some of it was limited in features or had an expiration date.I am running this board + 4GB ram, 320GB hdd, a USB TV tuner, firewire card, and the e8600 CPU all on an 80 watt power supply. Simply amazing.
