This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: It lets me put a core i7 into a mini-itx case.
Cons: The manual doesn't explain the bios settings.
It won't let my USB keyboard get into the bios. I have to plug in a PS2 keyboard to do that.
The tweaking software requires .net 2.0, and I can't find a way to get it on Windows 7 64-bit.
I wish it had a firewire port in the back.
It only has 3 SATA ports.
Other Thoughts: Intel Core i7-860

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: can't think of any other LGA1156 Mini ITX board
seems to work great once you get around bios issues.
Cons: not your typical bios ui
having bios settings save issue as others noted
Other Thoughts: Specs: Core i5 650, 300W shuttle power supply, Shuttle KPC case, 4GB GSkill Ripjaw PC3 10666, WD "Green" 1TB drive, HIS Radeon 5770. Dynatran cooler
mild overclock to 3.5GHz
I built this system to be a HTPC with capable gaming at 1920x1080. Also needed it to have as low as possible current draw.. Everything seems to work fine once I got around the bios issues.. I found that my settings wouldn't save if I hit escape and save "OK".. but it seems to save when i hit F10 before exiting..The bios seemed to want to choose some random settings for me as well at times so make sure you set everything and hit F10... I eventially managed to get the settings i wanted in there.. the system is stable and I'm happy I don't have to mess with the worst bios known to man!

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: - P55 in an ITX form factor
- Good board layout
- Power consumption is as low any mATX board out there
Cons: - The English is poor in the BIOS and manual
- The manual doesn't do a good job of explaining the BIOS functionality
- The BIOS is very buggy
Other Thoughts: I'm running this board with a Core i5 750. My main complaint is the BIOS. The first time I change from IDE to AHCI, I get gibberish on the top of my screen when it POSTs, it reboots, and all settings are lost. It usually sticks the second or third time.
Also, if I change settings in some combinations (ie. Enable SpeedStep, Enable Turbo Boost, Enable C-State), when it POSTs again, it just decides to overclock my processor! It set the base voltage to 1.25V and BCLK to 166, putting the processor at 3.33GHz. I had some major heat/power issues as a result. It also messed up my DRAM settings. It wouldn't let me change the BCLK and I couldn't fix some of the DRAM settings, so I had to reset the CMOS every time this happened. Not cool.
Since this board is more or less one-of-a-kind, I can't knock it too much. When the BIOS settings are right, it runs okay. I've got a powerhouse of a machine inside a tiny case. I don't know if I'll buy from DFI again though.
