Pros: Small, fits in your hand easy. Good battery life - a step up from my old Galaxy S3. Windows 8 is a good mobile OS - stable and lots of pretty UI effects. Very inexpensive phone so you don't have to worry about busting it :)

Cons: Not uber-powerful phablet android 5.3.2.1. killer app-edition, whatever.

Other Thoughts: I got this phone because I wanted a phone that could make calls, have a good battery life, and listen to music and not have to worry about breaking it. I got all that, and a delightful user experience on top of all of it.

Pros: Nice, sturdy, solid. Not too heavy, not too light. Front panels all work nicely. Manual was useful. Just enough space for a beefy video card. The two fans seem to be providing enough air flow, and the whole thing is pretty quiet. Mounting the mobo was easy because the standoffs are built into the case. The side panels come on and off easily. Mounting a 5.25" disc drive was a breeze.

Cons: The hard drive slots were kind of strange... I have a SSD and a regular SATA drive in it. The SSD fit in, but I did have to use screws, so much for the 'tool free design'. I was able to use the tool-free latches on the regular 2.5" SATA hard disc, but I had to insert it backwards for the latch to line up with the HD screw-hole! This meant I had to route a power and SATA cable behind the right-side panel, which was kind of tricky.

Other Thoughts: It looks really nice, I'm happy with the purchase.
