This is a wonderful motherboard- I bought this product to build a small-in-size yet powerful PC. It has been more than six months and I can say it is perfect... If you plane to assemble a PC for ordinary office work, everyday internet browsing and mailing, a bit of gaming, ordinary home applications- I would definitely recommend this all-in-one motherboard.
The only socket AM3 board available in this size, there really are no competitors. Lots of modern features like USB3 but no SATA3. On board graphics will get you surfing but don't expect to play any serious games. Biggest drawback of this board is the immense amount of heat the chipset gives up, especially considering these small boards are built for compact cases with little airflow.
The only reason that this otherwise "packed" motherboard does not get 5 stars is because it does not support 125w processors. I use a phenom II 80w processor, a radeon hd graphics card and 4gb of ram at 1066(processors choice) and my system is super fast.
