5 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Ran very smoothly. I built a friend a machine and upgraded his GT 8800 to this. He's not a hardcore gamer, so I was fine with the LP design. It came in LP. I wasn't putting this in a HTPC case so I had to swap to the bigger PCI-slot. Was no hassle.

Great product

Cons: None really

5 out of 5 eggsGreat case, lots of room, great price.

Pros: Very sexy looking case, that's especially perfect for a white/black scheme. I'm currently building my PC and checked out a lot of cases before I found this one on sale and pull the trigger.

Side panels are easy to take off and put back on once you figure out how to slide them in. Probably just me being completely new to the whole PC thing. Inside has a bunch of room, spaces for fans, hard drives, SSD's, and for your motherboard/graphics card.

Seems to have pretty good airflow too, especially since there's a place for you to place another fan behind your hard drive bay to increase airflow, along with places for a side fan and radiators. The tool-less drive bay kinda messes up on mine from time to time, but it's easy when your patient with it.

Paint job is pretty darn good, especially since they had to match the plastic with the paint on the metal.

Cons: It's a sturdy case and does feel sturdy, but sometimes it feels like you're getting close to breaking it. The paint, while matching the plastic flawlessly, is kinda cheap. Though I can understand it would be after shipping and sitting in a warehouse. The front panel door is really hard to shut, but once you figure it out it's easier, but still hard to open sometimes. Aside from all these complaints, they're not worth taking off an egg.

Also I noticed in the shipping, it went to the Fedex shipping facility, then went directly back to Newegg, and showed it'd be a day late. Three hours later it was posted as next day and got here as scheduled. So I'm assuming Fedex broke something and sent it back, but I'm not upset since this case is perfect.

Other Thoughts: Pretty much the perfect case for me, has some style but isn't some flamboyant "look at me" case. I didn't feel like I overpaid and that it was worth the price. I'd recommend it to anyone who's looking for a stylish case that's not some massive stove sized box, but still has a good presence.

4 out of 5 eggsFairly good MOBO

Pros: Works as designed. MOBO is on the lower end of the price scale.

Cons: Only 4 SATA 3Gb ports, no SATA 6Gb ports, no IDE/ATA ports. Yet it has a place to plug in COM and LPT ports, figure that one out. The bios on this board recognized DDR3 1600 RAM as DDR3 1333 RAM, not good at all.

4 out of 5 eggsNot Equipped for Broiling

Pros: Good price, spacious, adequate low-tech controls (maybe a plus), attractive appearance due to large glass oven door

Cons: It has no broiler rack. The manual instructs that the broiler rack be inserted in the drip pan for use in broiling or roasting. Although a broiler rack is not shown in the picture or description, it is misleading to advertise this unit as a Toaster Over "Broiler". The idea behind broiling to cook with direct heat, with the fatty juices falling in the drip pan. The food being cooked is separated from being immersed in its own fat by being elevated by a broiling rack. Rosewill tech support was of no help and rather curt, stating that the manual had generic instructions and the unit had no broiler rack. I deducted on star for the lack of an essential item like the broiler rack.

Other Thoughts: I got lucky and converted an orphan rack of unknown origin that I had saved for "who knows what". After a few minutes of clamping in a vise, hammering, cutting and bending, I was able to come up with a broiler rack that is serviceable.

4 out of 5 eggsSturdy Stuff.

Pros: The Metal is sturdy. Not flimsy and cheap.
Comes with plenty of screws and accessories.
Spacious.
2 USB 3.0 ports. (With a header, Thank the lords)
All black interior.
Could theoretically withstand a kick from a frustrated PC user.

Cons: The design choice on top makes it seem like there were a piece missing, like a cover perhaps. Could easily allow liquid or any other spilled substance to enter and damage components. (See Other Thoughts)

Other Thoughts: Other reviews suggest that the indentation at the top could be used as a place to put drinks or any other food material, I highly recommend you do not do this because if you were to accidentally spill it, odds are that the spilled liquid will seep through the holes at the top and damage components inside. (The PSU is right underneath :/ )
