Doesn't work
Of all the systems that I've built, this is the first one that didn't work on first boot. I get power to the board; the fans run but nothing else, not even the POST beep.

Not Happy with quality
Got this one from a barebone kit. It seems they just sent me an used one, even with CUP lock base assembled up side down. The on-board NIC just die after using for a while. Have to reboot the PC to get it back to work.

Sufficient Yet Lacking
I Purchased this as part of a Barebones Kit. Normally in my experiences with ASUS in the past the motherboard comes with various little extras, This one doesn't. Overall its the same great quality that one would expect from asus even though it's lacking some features, but that has to do with price range. My only complaint is that there is no USB 3.0 or 2.0 headers.
