MSI Hetis G41

Cost ; Reliability ; Ease of Setup ; Quiet Operation ; Sturdy Construction ; Serial Ports - two of them, and they work ; Windows 7 x64 works straight out of the box (except RAID driver) ; Great for unobtrusive installs

BIOS triggers F1 Error on post if you don't have PS/2 Keyboard. There IS an option in the BIOS to skip F1 errors. The reviewer below either has an older BIOS rev or missed the option to bypass somehow ; Proprietary P/S - Had one P/S fail on an earlier...

NONE

Got 2 of these both DOA one sent back for RMA came back not fixed

Very small for a box with t PCI's ; Pretty quiet ; Good looking

A bit "fiddly" to get PCI boards installed (a reasonable tradeoff for the small size) ; Perf'ed top for the CPU cooler, so need to keep part of the top clear ; Poor manual (doesn't explain the PCI arrangement, unclear on some other things)

This is a great machine for a media center and also a a great build for parents that need just a basic PC

none

775 quad 4 support, all connections on rear plus. Basicly all thats needed for a fairly decent machine in a small package. Even includes a very quiet cpu fan

It died in 4 days and was very slow with a quad 4 procesor

Easy Assembly, lots of room and access for a small size. Clean setup of Win7 Pro. I was a little surprised by the support bracket release. I thought it had something to do with opening the case since it was on the outside. The manual was pretty clear...

Big negative for me, a nit for others. If you get a decent USB keyboard as I did, it is annoying to have to hit F1 when you boot up to get past "PS/2 keyboard not found". There is no setting to disable this in the bios ; As others have stated the...

Efficiently designed, quiet case. Screw in CPU fan wasn't that hard to put in, and comes with a patch of thermal paste pre-applied. Comes with power cable and SATA cables. Case can be setup vertically with a base

No ATA. I should have read the previous reviews before buying. Also, when I added a PCIe tv tuner card, the onboard DVI stops working. I RMA'd my first case, and the behavior was reproducible on the replacement. I have confirmed with MSI that this is...

good system

RMA. need smaller system

Nice system, easy to set up and quiet in operation. Preforms well. comes with motherboard extender riser and two open slots - one for a PCI-E vidio card and another for a standard PCI card. Onboard vidio and audio works fine. Had a spare SATA 300 GB...

Specs are incorect. No ATA header only two SATA drives supported. Wasted money on the ATA drive I bought for it. Center silver support rib shows brightly thru the corner of the black case's cpu grill ( darkened it with a black marker ). Can't use the...

Nice and compact. Small foot print

I bought this to build a cheap solution using existing ATA hard-drive and CD/DVD. Well, this unit does not support ATA drives as stated in the specs, only two SATA ports exist
