Pros: I used this board to build an HTPC/Web Design PC. Quick Specs:Windows 7 64-Bit8 Gig DDR2 800 G. Skill Memory1 TB Hatachi Hard DriveMSI Radeon HD 4870 1GB (Using the boards Hybird CrossfireX) I am running two Hanns. from Newegg.com Pros: Very well motherboard. First time MSI user but I think is better than any other brand. (Believe there is an upgrade path to AM3 socket via MSI bios update) I like the on-board button that clears CMOS value. from Newegg.com Pros: Nice board, great layout. Very solid and the power, reset, and cmos buttons are a nice touch. from Newegg.com Pros: Works fantastic with my setup... for a fairly basic video setup with the onboard and the lower end saphire card, it does just about everything i want and then some Cons: only thing i can complain about is finding out whether or not its possible to use this system like a movie server, havent played around enough with multi-display to know if i can watch different movies on different displays at the same time, using more than one form of media player, ie: winamp, power dvd, etc. Other Thoughts: MSI KA780G moboAMD Athlon X2 7850 Kuma Black Dual Core4gb Mushkin DDR2 1066Saphire Radeon HD 3650 512mb running crossfireCooler Master extreme power plus 500wWD 250 gbRAIDMAX Sirius ATX-701S Case from Newegg.com Pros: This Board was so simple to get up and running, everything was clear in the manual,and everything works !, AMD Athlon X2 7850 Black Edition AM2 CPU over clocks nicely!, EVGA GeForce 9500 GT 1GB PCIe great graphics !, 2 Corsair XMS 4096MB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz nice ! There has been nothing bad to say about this one,. from Newegg.com Pros: Great motherboard once you update the BIOS. Since update have experienced "0" issues. from Newegg.com Pros: ATX. not Micro ATX, with 140W capacity for CPU. from Newegg.com Pros: Worked great straight out of the box for about a week. Cons: System eventually crashed and now it won't POST. from Newegg.com Pros: Placement of everything is perfect in my computer. Recently built a new computer and this one fit the bill pretty well. The onboard audio is average enough to play the games I play. Cons: A bit flimsy but that's not much of a con since you aren't supposed to be rough with these kind of things anyways. from Newegg.com Pros: My first system build and it worked first try! Overclock switch will be nice too. Cons: Seemed a little flimsy (I thought it was going to break when plugging/jamming in the 24 pin cord), but I don't have much experience to compare its sturdiness to other boards. Other Thoughts: My very first build here it is:Geforce 9800GTKingston HyperX 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 Cooler Master Centurion 534 caseRosewill Stallion Series RD600N-2SB-SL-BK 600W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Active PFC Power Supply AMD Athlon 64 X2 7750 Kuma 2.7GHz black editionSeagate 250G hard driveAcer X223Wbd Black 22" 5ms Widescreen LCD MonitorAll ordered from newegg and cost me under $700 including shipping and got 2 free games from Newegg.com
