Small con would be the location of the 24pin power connector, using the Mini Box M350 this ends up right at the front of the case and directly in the way of the USB connection
This is a humble mITX board, without the bells and whistles. Expect good value for your money and you won't be disappointed. Beyond that, it has an easily navigable BIOS that permits mouse functionality; two (rear, I/O shield) USB3.0 ports; and the Support DVD packs good value as well.
I recommend this board for budget-conscious HTPC builds, and enthusiasts who want to keep it simple, and avoid paying through the nose for added functionality they won't use.

Overall, great board for anyone looking to build a media centre. No SATA3 isn't a deal breaker, but I have a SSD and would like the benefits. Otherwise, I like the BIOS now that it is more graphical.

Sata ports could be placed better and an extra fan header would be nice but for a basic HTPC build this motherboard is near perfect, especially considering the price.

This board caused issues until I flashed with the newest BIOS, changed the HDD mode to IDE and reinstalled windows. Caused hard to troubleshoot BSOD's which resulted in almost a month of trying various things and retesting the hardware. The biggest gripe is that it sometimes took a day or two to actually BSOD, so each individual test took ages.
Now that it's flashed, reinstalled and stable, the board is nice and small, and gets the job done.

Let's be honest here. I just planned on buying something inexpensive for a HTPC.. or also as a back up computer that will be able to stream 1080p movies and stuff.
works good to me, new designed bios from asus is a well done. clear cmos pin needs redesign, hard to reach if in a small case, maybe only me...

Picked this up for an HTPC build. Really small, and EFI BIOS is a nice touch. Only issue I have is with waking from S3 suspend in Linux - it doesn't work. Found a few reviews online mentioning the same issue, so using Windows 7 + xbmc for now.
