Happy so far

Pros: Spins, reads and writes bits, fairly zippy, quite quiet. what more can you expect from a midrange hd? 5.9 windows experience index on an lga1155 board with an i5 2500k not shabby.
Cons: none really. guess it could be faster or larger, but it does everything it says it'll do.
Overall Review: I bought two of these for my wife and I. we used them in our new desktop systems, combined with a dual 2.5" in 3.5" bay adapter. The accessibility that provides combined with the whisper quiet operation and high speed has rendered us very happy.
I *ALMOST* clicked buy

Pros: 50x 250GB Scorpio Blacks
Cons: Hosed on the warranty. Note the 3 year warranty as opposed to the 5 year warranty on the original drives
Overall Review: You still save a little (at the time of writing this) per drive, but still more expensive than 3/5 the price of buying them individually
Beautiful Card, Beautiful Graphics

Pros: Fast! Same chip (GTX 460) as the F@H GPU Reference bench, but I'm reliably getting more points than the reference system should~~ the OC makes a measurable difference! The graphics are beautiful, I've never seen so much detail in my life less sound than I expected.
Cons: large card, big heatsink, lots of heat, etc..
Overall Review: My system seldom becomes audible during folding@home sessions, but I can hear it kick in audibly when I run some games. I was initially having problems with some games performing poorly, and I was stumped. then I realized that I had folding@home running in the bg, since I run the GPU client, it DOES noticably impact game performance, so be aware! I've not spent nearly as much time with this beauty as I'd like since school just started the same week I got it in the mail, but I'm exceedingly happy with what little time I have. with minor tweaking, I got a windows experience index of 7.6, I bet I could push it a bit and hit 7.9.
Could be longer?

Pros: 2 sata data ports, 1 sata power, front access. the devices are more solidly built than I expected, they feel durable in hand.
Cons: could be a bit longer, the sata ports on the back wouldn't accept 90 degree connectors in my chassis, and that's an issue I expect others will encounter as well.
Overall Review: if it was too long, it might cause other issues, so I only dinged it one egg for that because it was a minor headache. I couldn't use the sata6 cables that came with my mobo, so I'll have to upgrade to sata6 cables later if I want a sata6 ssd. if you already have sata 6 cables that terminate at the drive(caddy) with straight connectors, or you're sure of your chassis' internal clearance, then this is an excellent option, and I know I would buy it again!
Very Happy

Pros: Very Bright Includes Speakers No Artifacts (Ghosting, dead pixels, etc) fast response time high contrast ratio Nice range of adjustments Tilt range exceeded my expectations
Cons: lame speakers (Who buys a monitor for the speakers?) very bright (but adjustment range is amazing, so I was able to turn it down a tad) it wasn't bigger?
Overall Review: With the extended tilt range (almost 45 degrees down) I'm thinking of purchasing one for my bedroom TV, which will sit atop a bookshelf near the ceiling. if it had a few extra inputs I'd be sold on the idea. Overall I'm very happy with my new monitors! One additional thought: this product ships in a box with the words "ASUS", "LED", and "Monitor" printed in large letters on nearly all sides. Have a neighbour watch your house the day you expect it if you can't be there to receive it yourself.
Better than I expected

Pros: Trayless design Access to fan power connectors 4 disks Simple Solid
Cons: Very Long, Cables conflict with the power supply. Not a problem if you get a deeper chassis. Fans are LOUD. I disconnected them, monitored temps with SMART, drives are cool enough in the summer, so I left them off. No Locks. Easy to just walk up and pop a drive out with no warning. no activity/status lights. all you know is that the power is on to a drive.
Overall Review: All around it's a very nice product, it would only be better if it had locks, activity lights, status lights, and was a little less deep. due to these few short comings, I'm giving it a 4 egg review. Despite that, I still highly recommend it over some of the other products here that do the same thing.
