This system was running just fine, I cam into my office this morning and smelled electrical overheating.  I jerked my hand back when I touched this device, felt like I could have fried an egg on it.  I am quite disappointed.Follow up: ASUS will not cover any peripheral devices which may have been damaged as a result of their product malfunctioning.  They claim that they are 3rd party devices and could have well caused their product to fail, memory and hard drive approved by ASUS are not covered is their product caused them to fail, leaving the customer to purchase replacement items.Be forewarned!
