Pros: Recognized at 1600 on first boot Works
Cons: None, though haven't tried redeeming free movie yet
Pros: W7 recognized IDE drive right after installing drivers
Cons: Continuous BSODs. Even after installing drivers. Tried pulling card out, starting computer, shutting down, putting card back in. One reviewer mentioned using "Last good known configuration" - seems they got rid of this in W7? I only had the options of Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, Normal Windows. Ended up just ordering an external enclosure. Sure wish motherboards just came with at least 1 IDE plug these days.
Pros: Great build quality Looks awesome Case fan makes next to no noise Blue LED strip on the front is classy without being overbearing
Cons: Hard drives can only go in one way, otherwise cables stick out too far to close side panel
Pros: Blazing fast compared to my old dual core Athlon 64 First Intel processor I've owned since Pentium 2
Cons: Stock HSF is nothing to write home about
Pros: Near silent Runs everything I throw at it
Cons: Didn't expect it to require 2 plugs, though that was my own fault for not looking. Not a big deal, had an extra plug anyways.
Pros: Near dead silent Keeps CPU cool
Cons: Huge. Was afraid it wouldn't fit in my NZXT Gamma. Just barely fits inside, roughly 2cm clearance to side panel
