Liked features/looks, but LAN wouldn't work
Pros: Nice looks, seems to have plenty of nice features even though I'll have to learn more over-clocking it.
Cons: LAN just plain would not work. Tried installing drivers from CD, downloaded both versions of driver files from ASUS website on flash drive, updated BIOS, just plain wouldn't even start the installation process. Tried pointing to folders on CD and flash drive, gives message no compatible drivers. Spoke with ASUS technical support 3 times. They have no idea what the heck going on, but issued a RMA to have it repaired since they didn't have any in stock to replace it. I ended up damaging cpu pins trying to place cover on (my fault) when getting it ready to ship out and basically now I have an expensive piece of junk that will end up in my fire pit. Of course now it out of stock on Newegg and elsewhere, so not sure what I'll do right now. Will get away from it and think about it in a day or so.
Overall Review: I'm not sure if product good or not. The LAN issue really ticks me off especially with support not knowing what's going on with it or how to resolve it. Wouldn't surprise me if it did get in for repair they'd not find any problem with it as read another review today after I damaged mine about possible solution (which the solution Intel reported was kinda silly, especially since ASUS tech support didn't mention it at all).
Noisy from the start.
Pros: Inexpensive.
Cons: had a vibration and slight noise right when I installed drum, then next day it sounded like drum was going to explode while printing. re-installed my original drum and noise went away. Put in a request to have product replaced but have not seen any correspondence about this since I submitted claim 5 business days ago.
Overall Review: Can not recommend this product at current time as mine is defective and manufacture has not gotten back to my clain to have product replaced.
Useless
Pros: None at all as is doesn't work.
Cons: Doesn't work.
