pros: the board itself is pretty good for the price. I placed this in to a mid tower and it fit well. The install went smoothly and everything booted up nicely. It took a while to try and get rid of the post message coming up every boot after the os installation, to this day I still don't know how I did it, but its pretty much gone. Cons: I gave this a 3 because it did not come with any screws. I recall purchasing other board brands that came with its own screws to mount on to the spacers on the case. Luckily the recycled screws were such that it did not damage the board. The board also has such a curved bend that I thought it would be cracked. But it seems to be holding up. This is after installing the stock heatsink of the dual core wolfdale 2.5 ghz processor.

overall a great board for the bucks, if your looking to build a low budget overclocker it works good. north bridge gets a little hot so an aftermarket cooler would not be a bad idea. the only other downside is that if you run an aftermarket graphics card you'll have to choose wisely for a ram cooler. shipped fast thanks tiger direct!
