Sledgehammer? I can kill an MTRON with my bare hands. They're delicate lotus blossoms, and I'm losing my patience with anything not carved out of solid granite. In all seriousness, I don't think they play well with some modern hardware. And that's sorta to be expected, I mean, my X25-Es will keep windows from booting if they're on an Intel 6gbps port. My Chronos Deluxes will prevent this one AMD board I have from booting proper if it's on any of the SATA 3gbps ports (it's a 7xx southbridge, no SATA III). I still like the MTRONs, but damn if I'm not just plain scared to use them at all. I'm going to cowboy up and do the requisite power consumption testing though.
