Most Critical Review

Pros: Looks cool, has good name, looks good on paper SATA & IDE interface!

Cons: Real tight install, intial install failed due to cable (I think), wiggled it and lights came on.....but failed install still, had to register edit to correct issue.

Overall Review: Thermaltake shoud redesign, needs more room inside, espicially around interface.

Pros: Good lay out for bottom power supply case. Bios very familiar feel look. Handles high wattage CPU's. Allows use of Older AM3 socket CPU'S. Onboard vid gives 4.2 on win 7 wei.

Pros: Sale price, 155 for 4tb!! use for media storage. Like the spin/down/green feature

Overall Review: been building PC's for abouit 9 years now. Only WD failure was shipping related. Noticed, where HDD comes from makes diff in packing(NJ=OK...CA=NO). Also buy just HDD, they tend to package it correctly.
