A month in and...
Everything is working great. I love this board's price vs options vs quality. This is my second biostar board and they're batting two for two so far.

Solid MoBo
Part of new build. With AMD A8 and Corsair Vengeance ram. Fired up first time. Runs solid and stalble. Great features and sound. Graphics are really better than I thought for onboard. Handles everything I've thrown at it for a month with no hickups, though I don't do PC gaming so I can't comment. Great board at a great price. Only con I found is that you cannot read sensors from inside Windows.

GREAT FOR HTPC
This board with an A10 APU is fabulous for HTPC builds. Can handle light gaming and audio and video are great. For a low cost HTPC this board lays the groundwork. I am using liquid cooling and no problems with heat. Great expandability with 8 sata ports. Biggest issue was a smaller case. Found the case on this site.
