Pros: Good overclocking, nice cooling, 2 lans WiFi
Cons: Price, no 1600 FSB support
The Bottom Line: I would recommend it to everyone. It is very stable (2 months nonstop) and overclockable (E6850 on 3.6 air).

Full Review
Bought it two months ago on ebay. Very pleased with it so far. Packed with E6850, MSI HD 3870, Corsair 1333 2 Gb.
Pros:
1.Packaging was very good, comes with all the accessories you might need. Q-Connector. USB 2.0 back panel. WiFi antenna. Additional chipset fan. SATA cables ect.
2.Network connections are perfect. Two separate LANs: Marvell 88E8056 with PCI Express x1 and Realtek RTL8110SC with USB interface. Don’t forget about WiFi card, which is connected via USB port on the back panel.
3.PCI-E: two slots x16 and x4 crossfire support. Also there are two PCI-E x1 slots.
4.Six SATA ports, I connected two of them (black ones) in the RAID 0 with two raptors 36Gb – no problems. NCQ support. Overall I am using all six of them – 1.4 Tb.
5.Was able to squeeze Schythe Infinity onto CPU. Not much free space, but it is possible.
Cons:
1.Only one PATA connection slot. Good only for two DVD roms. No place for old HDDs.
2.Only one PS/2 connection for keyboard only. Be careful with this one.
3.PCI-E x16 is very close to SATA ports, so if you have oversized video card, you might need bended SATA cables (included in the box)
4.Chipset can get really hot (50-60c) but it is ok for new chipsets.
