great motherboard. Works flawlessly. Loaded with 32 gigs of RAM using one terabyte raid and half a terabyte SD drive. I am sure this is complete overkill for me, since I'm only using it for business, spreadsheets, stuff like that. If this motherboard had a soul. It would be very unfulfilled. Maybe someday I'll play game on it and make it happy. In the meantime, the system I built is awesome. With 424 inch monitors and a Blu-ray burner. I have everything I want in every thing works well. May not be obsolete for a year or two. with the ANTECH case. I can hardly hear the thing working.

Pros: Z97 Chipset
USB 3.0 Header (at a right angle in case you have a long graphics card like myself)
mSATA connector
Plenty of PCI-E ports
Tons of SATA ports

Cons: Overclocking is awkward (you have to press the + or - buttons to increase or decrease values rather than manually punching in values)
BIOS doesn't give full control over fans (it only allows down to 50% fan speed)
MSI autoupdate utility constantly wants to install Norton

Once you get everything set up the way you want it, this motherboard is great and very reliable.
