Any opinions on this board? I am not a hard core gamer so SLI would be too much $. Basically going to build a new desktop for gaming / surfing

I just picked a refurb one up for $45.00 (not from tiger)

MSI makes good mobos, and you cant really go wrong with the P45 chipset, i say +1 for you

You can never go wrong with price<performance

not a bad board, but what you intend to do with it and the parts you put it with are what make the difference...

not one of my favorite manufacturers but for the price im sure you could do worse but this is more of an opinion i got a couple of msi that were dead on arrival took me a while to get something that did work but im surew everyone has a company that had that problem from time to time

Tiger is not exactly a leader in Customer Service and as far as MSI their are better boards and there are worse.

Just for your sake i hope it is not DOA because getting a RO on that could be a Nightmare

+1 for MSI. I've used MSI boards in my own systems for years myself. They've always been reliable boards for me that i've never had any problems with, even when overclocking.
