Advantages: features and accessories rich; great overclocking potential; fastest mobo out there Disadvantages: some bugs, but nothing that can't be dealt with if you're prepared
...However, after looking at the Asus forums, I was confidant that I could overcome any problems that I encountered.
When I set up my new system, I was immediatly faced with the notorious 'CPU INIT' error when I attempted to power up the PC. However, as I had read the forums and knew about the problem, I could easily deal with it - as opposed to sending for a replacement straight away, which I've heard many people have done.

Advantages: Supposed to be the bees knees Disadvantages: more like a knacked nag - only fit for the glue factory
...which one it is, because they are useless too!
I now have to pay ASUS to fix it for me. Oh yes, ASUS has NO UK support for anything other than their laptops.
