Pros: Fits your gaming/full-length cards in a short depth case I managed to install water cooling but it was not easy to do and required some minor modification Simple layout/easy to use

Cons: Sure you can complain that it doesn't do X or Y, but this case is constrained to a) fit short depth racks b) support full length cards. This necessarily limits hard drive expansion. I wasn't able to find any other case which met my specific requirements other than this one.

Overall Review: Make sure that the case will work for you before you. Chief concern for some users is limited hard drive and 5.25 slots. This server case is more like a desktop case than most server cases which makes it pretty easy to work on.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Does not pass the trim command aka discard due to a short coming of the firmware. Tech support was specifically not helpful and informed me there were NO PLANS to support TRIM/discard in the future.

Overall Review: If you are not using SSD's this controller is fine, I'm just trying to help the next guy who wastes his money on hardware from a company who claims they have no intention of modernizing a 6GB/s SAS HBA card to support a modern feature set.

Pros: Runs my 6-core Xeon like clock work extremely silently courtesy of water cooling (workstation build). Nice to have IPMI and PCI-X built into the board which were my chief buying points. I'm also a fan of having 8 RAM slots.

Cons: The board works fine except for some reason my DDR3 1600 RAM is recognized as DDR3 1333 even when I force it to DDR3 1600 MHz in the BIOS, but everything else works fine. I'm going to try a BIOS update and see if that fixes the issue.

Pros: When I bought the processor, I thought it had the processor extensions for virtualization, turns out I was wrong. Still, this is a good bang for your buck setup if you don't need virtualization.

Cons: Contrary to what one reviewer said, there is no built in virtualization extensions. For most people this is not an issue.

Pros: Very nice board, good 3D graphics and nice 2D image quality. My power supply is a FSP 300 watt with 18 amps on the 12 volt rail and I can run this card.

Cons: No bundled games, but for this price you can't really complain on a VIVO board.

Overall Review: My last system until PCI Express.

Pros: The note book is light weight and has a very nice screen; plenty bright. The large capacity hard drive is also a big plus.

Cons: Battery life is decent, but could be better. I got 3 hours battery life watching movies and surfing the web. Luckily there is a higher capacity battery availible for it from Toshiba.
