Nice Motherboard,
Installation was smooth with no trouble at all. Runs windows 7 Pro 64 bits in RAID 10 mode using four Western Digital HDDs. Price is right. Recommend without reservation.

|ASRock rocks…,
Great board for my two HTPCs. Flawless. Used to buy EVGA, but they’re now way more expensive for the same thing. Used two Pro3’s for my FIOS DVRs and Extreme4 for my file server/backend. All just worked, and worked well.

|Nothing special and overpriced,
I ordered this motherboard in a rush. Failed to check the prices, but later found vendors selling it for $20-30 cheaper, to my astonishment. Felt cheated. The board is surely not feature-rich as the price conveys. ASUS or MSI would definitely be a better purchase, IMHO.
As for the board itself, it is slightly shorter (in width, not length, as usually is the case) than regular ATX boards, so mounting it in my cabinet left one line of screw holes unoccupied and it felt nervous when connecting the 24-pin adapter as one has to exert force. There’s a single PCI-x16 slot – mounting my graphic card eats up the PCIe slots (see ASRock Pro3 Gen3 for a better layout).
Nothing special to talk about the features here. Lack of a eSATA port at the back is also surprising for a $140 board. There were no stickers or pages to give the board layout, which means the thick manual has to be brought out each time.
Note again: “Felt cheated” is the keyword
