I am using this as a developmental test bed and learning platform. Mainly to explore virtualization and linux server development. This Install was striaghtforward but if you are running linux, the clock may run out of control. There is a software fix you need to set on boot which corrects this. After several months use, it continues to be stable and fast. Great Board.. Only con is that it only has one IDE connector. I still have a bunch of old IDE drives I'd like to hang off it. If you upgrade, you may want to consider replacing IDE devices with SATA devices. It has lots of room for them.
