    A good budget build mobo!

    The item came in its own box, some notable features are: a 24 pin slot, 3 Sata-2 ports, a 4 pin motherboard port, a four pin CPU fan port, a PCIE slot, and two ram slots. it's a good budget board. It did not come dead on arrival for me and it works perfectly with the case I'm using it also has a VGA, HDMI, and ethernet port. The bios is a little outdated, but that's to be expected with a Chinese cheap motherboard. You really are getting what you're paying for no less and no more. Another thing to note is that it does NOT come with its own battery, make sure to get one from your local store!

    Disappointed

    -5 stars, only 1 memory slot works, I'm being told Amazon only handles return, so I go to return it and they want a picture of the defective slot to determine if it defective or not, last I checked its extremely hard to see if a memory slot works or not from a picture
