Asus Barebone Vintage 3

Works great out of the box, I had no issues setting this up and installing everything

The onboard graphics does not work for games BUT you can add a graphics card at little cost that will work for games and have dual monitors! I did this and it works great

System is loaded with features ; Overclock capabilities ; LOTS OF USB ports ; MediaCard bundled

DO NOT UPGRADE TO THE NEW BIOS 0406 ; I tried it and after I did it the on/off switch would not work. I would have to power off the PSU (switch at the back) wait for the mobo light to go off and do this 3 times, before the system would be able to be...

Outstanding amount of ports (USB, Firewire, HDMI, SATA, ESATA, SPDIF, 6 channel surround sound, card reader, DVI...did I miss any?), for all kinds of uses ; I didn't find the case cramped --lots of room for air circulation and for cables (especially if...

Only one SATA cable included, and only one SATA power outlet on stock power supply. Be prepared to buy a cable and a 4 pin Molex to SATA adapter ; Power supply is likely underpowered, depending on how full you stuff this thing. Consider getting one...

DO NOT UPGRADE TO THE NEW BIOS 0406

none

Motherboard is loaded :usb,firewire,sata,esata,dsub,hdmi,dvi,display port,iee1394,optical out. Motherboard is an Asus M3A78EM / V

Case is very cramped. You can barely add or remove ram or attach the cpu fan poower (4pin)without removing the Hard drives. It is just way to cramped. Worst though is the power supply it is non standard form and only 300 watts, but the real downfall is...

Tons of storage options ; recommend WD 1TB SATA quiet, no Seagate Clunk

Wish ASUS bought into the 'silent-PC' movement. Coolermaster has some great 'silent PC' cases, but no mobo/power supply options

Great case for any build. I love Asus barebones as they are stout little cases. Never had any problems with them. Most people that report problems with ALL Asus barebones have not set the correct voltage on the back of the case. Factory it comes set at...

Shipping this case is kind of expensive, I love it when NE ffers free shipping on this.

nice setup...Have been building ASUS barebones for a long time now..usually very reliable..and cool running..x2-4600 running at 34C...

will not run an internal card reader...hooked up two different card readers and got the same error message on both..looked for a bios update and there are no bios updates..Ran in to the same problem with another ASUS barebones that came with a built in...
