from Bob Holmes, www.newegg.com
everything plugged in like it was supposed to, booted first time, a bios even i could understand, four sata cables, adequate manual (which i could also understand).
from N/A, www.newegg.com
bios is fast on boot up and very straight forward with many overclocking features, manual is also very helpful, and it comes with a ton of extra sata cables and other connectors in nice packaging,
from viridianflare, www.newegg.com
it was a complete pita connecting the cables in.
from Morpheus, www.newegg.com
this is a very simple but great innovation which makes it easy to hide the flat sata cables behind the drive cage and have a clean build.

just don't count on the purple ports to work for you (see the product photo).if you want audio to go over the hdmi cable under linux, you may have to struggle with the drivers quite a bit.

one of my recent additions cable is not long enough even in a half height tower to reach it.
from Eryxx, www.newegg.com
i had no issues with any of my case cables reaching the pin headers, so other buyers must have some short cables.

from Electronic Chong, www.newegg.com
it wasn't a problem for me, as my fan cable was long enough to travel under the motherboard and into another port.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
the front panel sound connection is on the opposite side as well...which means stringing cables across your board if you want to use it(mine dont even reach it in my abs diablo adv).
from Tyler Menezes, www.newegg.com
i change power supplies frequently so no big deal.the fact that almost all sata ports are on the side of the board makes it hard to route cables in my antec 900 case, although it is still possible.
from Software Developer, www.newegg.com
the 8pin powers supply connector for the cpu lies directly next to one of the heat sinks, which makes for a very tight squeeze and will most likely leave a cable crossing over your entire motherboard
