Cheap but effective
Pros: All the Dual video, HD stuff you saw in the specifications; I can actually play Hellgate on this.
Cons: Heatsink seems somewhat cheap and I don't want to knock it, but that was my only concern.
Overall Review: I'm looking at this for a media PC, maybe.
didn't cut me
Pros: Didn't cut me. Can only count on 5 bloody fingers the cases that haven't cut me. Green LEDs bring out some personality and looks neat. Front panel audio was actually a AC97-compliant 'brick' instead of individual pins.
Cons: USB was the two 4-wire plugs + ground wire, not a nice little brick like the audio. It's minor, but it should have been a standard 7 years ago people! There is a silver paint 'accent' that just looks cheap; should have left it black. Yes, the HD mounts are cheap and annoying.
Overall Review: I haven't yet put a optical drive in it, but it looks like it will be 10-minutes of effort.
12/5/2007 to now
Pros: Very long cables, very long lifespan. Has ran an overclocked Intel Dual Core w/ a Geforce 8800 GT and 5 hard drives 24/7 since 2007! That's a lot of stable volts!
Cons: Developed a fan rattle after 2-3 years; couldn't give a care about that when I see what my dollars have yielded.
Overall Review: I don't know if I'll replace it for an AM3+ build or not... it's loved me so long!
Wacky
Pros: Works, has tons of options.
Cons: It boots for a few seconds, then turns off, then boots again. No idea what does that. Apparently can't control my zalman's fanspeed onboard with the 3pin, didn't know I needed a 4pin? I didn't like the price.
Overall Review: The 'driver update' software sucks in comparison to "A's" ... the CPU monitor software BSOD's my PC if I click on anything. I liked the heatpipes, and the green onboard LED is brighter than anything else on my case.
Wow just wow.
Pros: No sharp edges. Lots of fanpower. Fans are 3-speed switchable. I had a lot of space. Huge. Blue without being blinding.
Cons: Well, if I had to complain, it's that the switches for the switchable fans on the front are hard to get to after you get everything together. Sounds stupid to complain about that though...
Overall Review: Seriously, I've seen hundreds of pictures but nobody shows you how wide the case is due to that top fan. Close to the diameter of a basketball huge. It's awesome.
Fit nicely in budget.
Pros: Onboard Video for under $50, nice and small.
Cons: When I purchased, specifications said it had 4 SATA ports despite only 2 visible on the pictures. Only has 2. Videocard release plastic has a cap to the right of it, ram above it and is general a pain.
Overall Review: It did what I wanted, for the price I wanted.
