Cons: (none)
Pros: Inexpensive mITX board; Good value; Good warranty coverage; ASUS' highly reputed After-Sales Customer Support; Easy access to downloads via ASUS' Support website Comment:
This is a humble mITX board, without the bells and whistles. Expect good value for your money and you won't be disappointed. Beyond that, it has an easily navigable BIOS that permits mouse functionality; two (rear, I/O shield) USB3.0 ports; and the Support DVD packs good value as well.I recommend this board for budget-conscious HTPC builds, and enthusiasts who want to keep it simple, and avoid paying through the nose for added functionality they won't use. |

Cons: Lack of SATA3.
Pros: Small, compact, and offer a variety of IO ports. Comment:
Overall, great board for anyone looking to build a media centre. No SATA3 isn't a deal breaker, but I have a SSD and would like the benefits. Otherwise, I like the BIOS now that it is more graphical. |

Cons: sata ports layout,
Pros: Good layout, price, uefi interface. Comment:
Sata ports could be placed better and an extra fan header would be nice but for a basic HTPC build this motherboard is near perfect, especially considering the price. |

Cons: new style BIOS, required flashing for stability
Pros: Nice feature set on an itx board Comment:
This board caused issues until I flashed with the newest BIOS, changed the HDD mode to IDE and reinstalled windows. Caused hard to troubleshoot BSOD's which resulted in almost a month of trying various things and retesting the hardware. The biggest gripe is that it sometimes took a day or two to actually BSOD, so each individual test took ages.Now that it's flashed, reinstalled and stable, the board is nice and small, and gets the job done.As for the new style BIOS, it's a bit of a pain. Flashy graphics get in the way of actually getting at the settings you want to see. I rarely have a mouse connected to the PC when I'm building new hardware and doing burn in verifications. A keyboard is all I ever needed until I installed windows. Then if something went wrong, I'd take it apart in my work area and work via keyboard only. But now I need to have a mouse too to get around in the BIOS GUI. sigh. |

Cons: None so far
Pros: Works as intended Comment:
Let's be honest here. I just planned on buying something inexpensive for a HTPC.. or also as a back up computer that will be able to stream 1080p movies and stuff. And so far so good, I'm using this with the i3 2100 no problem. But I haven't tried games on it though |

Cons: price
Pros: asuscheapest 1155 itx with hdmi Comment:
for an itx mb, $80 is expensive for me.works good to me, new designed bios from asus is a well done. clear cmos pin needs redesign, hard to reach if in a small case, maybe only me...2 slots for ddr3 and 1 slot for pcie, very tiny board, good enough for htpc or office machine. |

Cons: Seems to have issues waking from S3 suspend in Linux.
Pros: Tiny! Really tiny. Did I mention how small this board is? Comment:
Picked this up for an HTPC build. Really small, and EFI BIOS is a nice touch. Only issue I have is with waking from S3 suspend in Linux - it doesn't work. Found a few reviews online mentioning the same issue, so using Windows 7 + xbmc for now. |

Cons: *Beating it with a hammer*... I don't think it has any for this price
Pros: Customize the crap out of this thing! Comment:
Looks like a solid B3 Revision from ASUS and the price just adds to the temptation of buying such a quality product. |

Cons: No overclockingMemory limited to 1333
Pros: Price and Quality Comment:
Perfect for someone with low budget and no overclocking need. |
Small con would be the location of the 24pin power connector, using the Mini Box M350 this ends up right at the front of the case and directly in the way of the USB connectionOtherwise it's rock solid, usual ASUS quality I expect
