Great little board. Bought for a storage server, runs great. Passive cooling is nice, completely silent. 6 sata connectors. Runs debian 6 and debian 7 without issue. Default NIC drivers for debian 6 were a little flaky though.

Got this to replace a broken CPU/mobo in an old computer that I was using for network storage and playing media on my TV. Definitely works for this purpose, and having no moving parts is a plus. 6 SATA ports makes this ideal for NAS or any machine where you want a lot of storage.
Only gripe is the lack of an HDMI port. I'm currently using a separate video card, but I may eventually move this to a case where I have to use the on-board video, in which case I'll just use an adapter. No biggie.

This was for a light user who wanted to watch some videos, listen to music, browse the web and be able to run office. It was inexpensive to build and runs great with the right case and components.

Great card for small file server. I was able to create a system that costs about third of what commercial NAS propositions with 6 drives cost. I have it setup with NAS4Free and can easily add up to 6 hard drives.
If it had Intel NIC and USB 3.0 it would be a perfect card for me. Still for the money it is really great.

Got that for a home server sitting in my closet, with my old AMD X2 it was super warm, but the CPU now sits at a cool 48C and my HDDs are the same. I got a Pico PSU 120w, it draws about 30w with 4 HDDs. Completely fanless and runs really smooth.
