Pros: Super fast compared to WD 250GB drive, boots in half the time with everything loaded

Cons: None so far, not even loud enough to be heard over other air cooling devices

Overall Review: A must have.

Horrible

Linkworld 3230-18 c2228u Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 430W Power Supply
Linkworld 3230-18 c2228u Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 430W Power Supply

Pros: None.

Cons: Came today and was beat-up beyond repair. The front bezel had 3 pins snapped off that help the front in place, all from one side. The back panel was bent where the pci slots were and would make it hard to install the motherboard. The side and top panels were also bent making it impossible to class the case properly. Very flimsy material, if it was better quality than I don't think there would have been any problems. Case is so flimsy would be scared to even move it for fear of damaging parts.

Overall Review: DO NOT BUY. Worst case I have ever seen. Sending it back right now.

Great

ASUS VH226H Black 21.5" HDMI Widescreen 16:9 Full HD 1080P LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 ASCR 12000:1 (1000:1) Built in Speakers

Pros: -Looks perfect with my GTX 260 graphics card, no problems. -Easy to set up. -No dead pixels. -Black is black, not a major critic on how "Black" the black is (I just cant see difference, its dark).

Cons: When it starts up you notice the lightness around edges, but when its on and being used you cant tell.

Awesome Case

Pros: Roomy. Removable motherboard tray. Plenty of fans. Sturdy construction. Had it for over 3 years without a single problem, and have put multiple motherboards and graphic cards in without a hitch.

Cons: Lights on front are bright in a dark room at night. Other than that this case is awesome.

Pros: No problems installing. Everything works, a couple of bent capacitors on the board though.

Cons: Wont boot past bios option screen when my belkin speedpad n52 is hooked up, sees it as keyboard, older asus board never did that.
