Fastest gaming performance we've seen; convenient front-panel hard drive access; expert build quality.

Cons

Extremely limited card expansion; boot drives are cramped; large and heavy
Steep price tag
Unattractive exterior
Not as quiet as you would expect; unpacking is a twoperson job.
No USB 3.0 support with this motherboard; questionable scaling in some games across four 3D chips.
